How to increase dashboard performance faster?

[Roy_9]

Hello,

we have built a dashboard on our stack from the data which we are receiving from another stack using the federated search feature, however there is a performance issue in loading this dashboard.

We are seeing the below error very frequently on the dashboard.

Socket error during transaction ReadWrite error.

Is there a way to improve this dashboard performance?

Thanks

The below solution worked for us.

• Created a scheduled search that retrieves tge data and writes the data to a lookup
• Second scheduled search references the lookup and writes the results to summary index using collect statement

There are many ways to improve dashboard performance and countless discussions on that topic. But generally the first steps would be to replace any real-time index queries with results from saved/scheduled searches, eliminate as many fields and/or regex parsing as possible, and restrict the date/time range of your searches.

Accelerated datamodels are an excellent choice also, but a bit more advanced. It just depends on your  use case and ability.

In all cases though, just remember that the search heads do all the work when it comes to parsing and presenting search results to the user. So eliminating workload there translates into better performance and user experience.
