Getting the warning "Splunk has found # orphaned searches owned by # unique disabled users", but no results displayed

We are running Splunk Enterprise v. 7.0.4 on our search head cluster.
Recently we have started to get the following warning:

"Splunk has found 4 orphaned searches owned by 1 unique disabled users.Click to view the orphaned scheduled searches. Reassign them to a valid user to re-enable or alternatively disable the searches."

but the click would take us to a search that won't produce any results.

Strange, that running Health Check on Splunk DMC server doesn't show any scheduled orphaned searches on the same search heads.

Any ideas?

After clicking on the link few times across 4-5 days, I was finally able to see some results. We are running 4 search heads cluster.

Hi @mlevsh,

it's weird that there isn't any result. I also don't have a clue why... maybe permissions.

I'll provide you a link though how you can resolve orphaned knowledge objects. 🙂

@pyro_wood, I'm a Splunk admin, so it should cover permissions.
We had similar warnings before and resolved orphaned searches, but this time it's hard to be sure what user/searches combination is causing the warning to pop up.
