Hello,

We are using Splunk cloud and seeing the below error message on SH.

 Search Scheduler Search Lag

  • Root Cause(s):
    • The number of extremely lagged searches (4) over the last hour exceeded the red threshold (1) on this Splunk instance

 

Can someone please help me in fixing this issue?

 

 

Thanks

Use the Cloud Monitoring Console app to see which searches are lagged.  Go to Search->Scheduler Activity and scroll down to the Execution Latency panel.  Group the results by Report Name to find the offending searches.

Try rescheduling the searches to a time when fewer other searches are running.
