Important: You do not need to install the S.o.S add-on on a Splunk instance where the S.o.S app is already installed. The S.o.S app ships with the same data inputs.
This S.o.S add-on allows you to pull in resource usage data from remote Splunk instances running on Windows for display in your existing instance of the Splunk on Splunk app. To enable this, install and configure this S.o.S add-on on Windows search-peers or forwarders to track the resource usage of Splunk.
NOTE: You must enable the data inputs included in this add-on before they can report resource usage information. By default, these inputs are disabled. Refer to the README file for more information.
For more details on how to set up S.o.S and its add-on to monitor Splunk's system resource usage, please refer to the following Splunk Answers:
