Hello,

My alert gets sporadically skipped with the following log entry:

02-09-2019 08:48:53.968 +0100 INFO  SavedSplunker - savedsearch_id="nobody;mlbso;Anomaly Detection", search_type="scheduled", user="d046266", app="mlbso", savedsearch_name="Anomaly Detection", priority=default, status=skipped, reason="The maximum number of concurrent running jobs for this historical scheduled search on this instance has been reached", concurrency_category="historical_scheduled", concurrency_context="saved-search_instance-wide", concurrency_limit=1, scheduled_time=1549698360, window_time=0

I am wondering how can it be that the concurrency limit for this alert is only 1 with the following parameters I have:

number_of_cpus = 8
max_searches_per_cpu = 20
base_max_searches = 10
max_rt_search_multiplier = 1
max_searches_perc = 77

Could you please help with this?

Kind Regards,
Kamil

Is it possible it is skipping becuase the search hasn't finished running since the last time it was scheduled?
