https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-speed-Up-Windows-Event-Log-Processing/m-p/494414#M84409 <P>I indexed about one GB of Windows Event Logs using the add data feature by monitoring the folder where the event log files are stored in. The indexing takes about 12 hours to complete. I expected the process to be a lot faster. The CPU, Memory and Disk usage was constantly low during the processing. Is there a way to speed the processing up?</P> Wed, 27 Nov 2019 15:04:35 GMT spiced 2019-11-27T15:04:35Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-speed-Up-Windows-Event-Log-Processing/m-p/494414#M84409 <P>I indexed about one GB of Windows Event Logs using the add data feature by monitoring the folder where the event log files are stored in.

Set this to <CODE>0</CODE> in <CODE>limits.conf</CODE> on your forwarders.</P> Wed, 27 Nov 2019 16:39:44 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-speed-Up-Windows-Event-Log-Processing/m-p/494415#M84410 woodcock 2019-11-27T16:39:44Z
