Getting Data In

REST API performance

If I have a web application that wants to access Splunk data via the REST API, what is the performance impact on Splunk? Since it doesn't have to render any dashboards, I would think it would be faster...?

Thx.

The performance impact on Splunk highly depends on the searches you're executing via the REST API.
