Performance
The fields in the Performance data model describe performance tracking data.
Note: A dataset is a component of a data model. In versions of the Splunk platform prior to version 6.5.0, these were referred to as data model objects.
Tags used with Performance event datasets
The following tags act as constraints to identify your events as being relevant to this data model. For more information, see How to use these reference tables.
Dataset name | Tag name |
---|---|
All_Performance | performance |
cpu OR facilities OR memory OR storage OR network OR (os, (uptime OR (time, synchronize))) | |

Fields for Performance event datasets
The following table lists the extracted and calculated fields for the event datasets in the model. The table does not include any inherited fields. For more information, see How to use these reference tables.
Object name | Field name | Data type | Description | Abbreviated list of example values |
---|---|---|---|---|
All_Performance | dest
|
string | The system where the event occurred, usually a facilities resource such as a rack or room. You can alias this from more specific fields in your event data, such as dest_host , dest_ip , or dest_name .
|
|
All_Performance | dest_bunit
|
string | The business unit of the system where the event occurred. This field is automatically provided by asset and identity correlation features of applications like Splunk Enterprise Security. Do not define extractions for this field when writing add-ons. |
|
All_Performance | dest_category
|
string | The category of the system where the event occurred. This field is automatically provided by asset and identity correlation features of applications like Splunk Enterprise Security. Do not define extractions for this field when writing add-ons. |
|
All_Performance | dest_priority
|
string | The priority of the system where the performance event occurred. | |
All_Performance | dest_should_timesync
|
boolean | Indicates whether or not the system where the performance event occurred should time sync. This field is automatically provided by asset and identity correlation features of applications like Splunk Enterprise Security. Do not define extractions for this field when writing add-ons. |
|
All_Performance | dest_should_update
|
boolean | Indicates whether or not the system where the performance event occurred should update. This field is automatically provided by asset and identity correlation features of applications like Splunk Enterprise Security. Do not define extractions for this field when writing add-ons. |
|
All_Performance | hypervisor_id
|
string | The ID of the virtualization hypervisor. | |
All_Performance | resource_type
|
string | The type of facilities resource involved in the performance event, such as a rack , room , or system .
|
|
All_Performance | tag
|
string | This automatically generated field is used to access tags from within data models. Do not define extractions for this field when writing add-ons. | |
