Its all good finally figured it out after searching through youtube. Managed to make a decent dashboard below. Thanks for all the help

I think I have figured it out, is it that simple that I would just go to the search and reporting app and for example type in CPU and that would give me all the info about the CPU ?

ahh right okay I get you. It is getting that information onto a dashboard I am unsure about doing. What I have been doing is selecting the input data button and then selecting monitoring, from there Ii would click on the local performance button and I get a bunch of information such as the image below. Is it possible to get the data in the image onto a dashboard ? this is where the confusion is.

I understand what you mean. Its more just for demonstration purposes I don't think there is anything wrong with my local machine. What I mean is like what would be the most important things you would put on the dashboard to display. For example what would be the best types of logs to use if you get what I mean. I am trying to make sound not as confusing haha, let me know if this makes sense.

Hi guys, Does anyone have any advice on what would be a good search to carry out on local performance data. I am trying to create some sort of dashboard that shows the performance of my local machine and not sure what I could be searching for to put in the dashboard. If anyone has any advice on what I could search for please let me know. Thank You

Hi Gcusello, I finished the fundamentals part 1 course yesterday. It was a good course but it only really covered how to upload data into splunk. Maybe its a wee bit different for when you monitor your own system. I will have a look at the videos you sent me as well. Thank you very much

Hi guys, I am very new to Splunk and this is only my first week using it. What I am wanting to do is view the performance logs of my own local machine and then put it into a dashboard. It would also be good to be able to get the number of times I have logged into my laptop if that is possible. The questions is, Do I need to use a universal forwarder to be able to do all this ? I am not sure, from what I have read online the universal forwarder is used for remote machines but because its local would I need to use one. I can imagine this being a very noobie question but need the help if someone is able to. Thank You

So I am very new to Splunk and I have just started using it. What I want to do is be able to view my own laptops operating system file logs and performance data. What I have been doing is logging onto my splunk and then selecting the "add data" button. From there I select the "monitor" button. For example I have chosen to monitor my local events log but for some reason when I try to search anything I get nothing so something is wrong and I dont know what. Please help
