This could negatively impact search starting times".</P> <P>As you will notice we have already bumped the value to 3500. We can bump it again but would like to figure out what is a good value. Anyway to determine this?</P> Wed, 07 Aug 2013 16:13:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Dispatch-Directory-question/m-p/27597#M177752 rmorlen 2013-08-07T16:13:23Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Dispatch-Directory-question/m-p/27598#M177753 <P>From my point of view the dispatch directory contains the run stats of the saved searches. If you can configure the values low then you will get rid of the alert. They are not much of a use. The dispatch directory only eats away the memory in the hard drive nothing else... Correct me if i am wrong. Thanks.</P> Wed, 07 Aug 2013 18:31:00 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Dispatch-Directory-question/m-p/27598#M177753 linu1988 2013-08-07T18:31:00Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Dispatch-Directory-question/m-p/27599#M177754 <P>The only real issue is that users see the warnings.</P> Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:34:57 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Dispatch-Directory-question/m-p/27599#M177754 rmorlen 2013-12-12T13:34:57Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Dispatch-Directory-question/m-p/27600#M177755 <P>I created an alert that monitors for the message and then calls a script to clean the dispatch directory as necessary.</P> Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:36:08 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Dispatch-Directory-question/m-p/27600#M177755 rmorlen 2013-12-12T13:36:08Z
