REST API performance

jambajuice · ‎06-16-2011

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.

Can you elaborate on that at all?
