In one of servers, we are getting search is waiting warning for quite long time. It takes around 10 seconds after that it will be loaded.

Hi vishaltaneja07011993,
use Monitoring Console to check if your hardware configuration is correctly dimensionated (12 CPUs and 12GB of RAM at least) and if there are scheduled searches that overload your system.
Remember that every search and subsearch takes a CPU, so if you execute a dashboard with 6 panels with a main search and 3 subsearches for each, you are using 24 CPUs that are released only when the search is finished, if more users use the same dashboard you can understand the problem!
Additional problems there are if you're using Real Time Searches because they don't release CPUs.

Bye.
Giuseppe
