Hi,
We have a splunk machine running with all the events going to one index. I noticed that for two different sourcetype, I got different search performance. For one of the sourcetype, searching happened very quickly but it was very slow for the other. Can someone explain me why i am getting such a difference.
Regards.

Hi pradeepchhetri,
This is the kind of question, that is almost impossible for anyone to answer, except to you - because you know your setup, know your events, know your server's load and so on.....
here are some basic troubleshooting things:
- do both sourcetypes have exactly the same event count over the exact same time range?
- is your search head / indexer over loaded?
- are there any saved searches running?
- check the job inspector to get any idea why one search is running slower as the other.
you see, there is a lot to check for you.
cheers, MuS

@Mus: @martin_mueller: Just realized that the difference was due to fast-mode and smart-mode search types, although both has same number of events. Thank you for the help.

I'm going to guess that production will have much more data than staging.
