Is there a way to test the performance of the event indexing?

[VatsalJagani]

How can I measure performance of Splunk about indexing events.

I want to increase MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD for the event. I can directly see that doing this would decrease performance, but I want to compare the performance to something like this: if I put a higher MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD , then how much performance will be degraded compared to when I keep it low?

In short, is there any way to benchmark performance of the event indexing?

After posting question I got the answer myself, which included no effort and gives very good idea about performance.
In Splunk go to Settings > Monitoring Console > Indexing > Indexing Performance: Instance

Try Monitoring Console for lot more then just indexing performance - http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/DMC/DMCoverview
