Description

Many log sources are tied to a hardware like pFSense, Sophos, Fortigate and have matching logs about hardware utilization.

e.g Sophos for CPU and memory:
vendor_system_use
1.71%
vendor_user_use
3.38%
vendor_free
2194165760
vendor_unit
byte
vendor_used
1424752640

I would like to build a dashboard around these. The system_use could be cpu_used and could be a long (remove the %) so we can use the right dashboard features.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how fields for hardware-utilization logs are currently defined, then compare the Sophos CPU, memory, and disk examples in this issue. Done should include fields that represent CPU usage without the percent sign and preserve the stated byte units for memory and disk values.
