Hi,

When I am trying to open a splunkweb form the browser, it is becoming too too slow and not opening at all , I have checked from backend and found that splunkd and splunkweb is working . When I checked the log ( splunkd.log) I found the below string :

I am using splunk 4.3.4 version as my search head. Please help me to fix this problem as a permanent work around .

4.3.* is end of life, start doing a backup and upgrade to 6.1.2

important points are :
- see your limits.conf if you tuned your number of searches per cpu : splunk 6 is using a 1 search = 1 core ratio with a better scheduling.
- see ulimit for "number of file descriptors" and "number of processes", the requirements increased.

for the LM error, this is because of your license groups/pool, you may want clear them and recreate them.
