@icykewl hello, To answer your first question, if you would like to collect linux or windows VM metrics, you could deploy splunk add-on for unix/linux or splunk add-on for windows on these AWS ec2 machines and then turn on inputs.conf available in these add-ons. Once these add-ons are configured, you could install splunk app for unix/linux or splunk app for windows to populate those pre built dashboards.   If you are exclusively looking for aws metrics, you could deploy the splunk add-on for aws on the web server and then turn on inputs and configure splunk app for aws. Aws add-on fetches you most of the metrics. https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1876/#/overview 2nd question: Below plug in helps with your second request. https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/grafana-splunk-monitoring-datasource/ Thanks ...
