The dashboard contains 2 tables and 14 scatter plots. When I load the dashboard, 6 of the 16 searches give an error. The error message for those 6 is this:</P> <PRE><CODE>In handler 'savedsearch': Search not executed: The maximum number of historical concurrent system-wide searches has been reached. current=10 maximum=10 SearchId=admin__admin__search__RMD5b21c14aa536784c7_at_1452546718_91 </CODE></PRE> <P>limits.conf.spec defines max_hist_searches = max_searches_per_cpu x number_of_cpus(I have 4 on the machine) + base_max_searches<BR /> Therefore, in "C:-Program Files-Splunk-etc-system-local" I have manually added limits.conf with the following stanzas:</P> <PRE><CODE>[search] max_searches_per_cpu = 2 base_max_searches = 6 </CODE></PRE> <P>btool confirms that Splunk sees these values, but my dashboard is still limited to the first 10 searches. Should the changes that I made to limits.conf be sufficient, or is there another directory where I need to place these changes to limits.conf?</P> Tue, 29 Sep 2020 08:21:49 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-I-increase-the-max-number-of-searches-on-my-dashboard-in/m-p/222909#M65562 kevinreese 2020-09-29T08:21:49Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-I-increase-the-max-number-of-searches-on-my-dashboard-in/m-p/222910#M65563 <P>hi kevinreese,</P> <P>The maximum number of searches is proportional of the number of cores on the system, so you could improve the hardware.<BR /> see <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.2/Capacity/Accommodatemanysimultaneoussearches">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.2/Capacity/Accommodatemanysimultaneoussearches</A></P> Tue, 12 Jan 2016 00:24:15 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-I-increase-the-max-number-of-searches-on-my-dashboard-in/m-p/222910#M65563 gyslainlatsa 2016-01-12T00:24:15Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-I-increase-the-max-number-of-searches-on-my-dashboard-in/m-p/222911#M65564 <P>Thank you, gyslainlatsa. I was thinking that limits.config allows us to manually specify number of searches per cpu on the stanza max_searches_per_cpu. If that is true then would the manual specification trump the actual number of cpus on the machine?,Thank you, gyslainlatsa.
