Can certain Splunk configurations be modified to increase concurrency? Can searches be modified to better use CPU?

Here are the changes that can be made to increase the concurrency and searches for the 'admin' user:

  1. For user level concurrency, on all Splunk search head nodes add: /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/authorize.conf [role_admin] srchJobsQuota=5000 cumulativeSrchJobsQuota=5000
  2. For Splunk search level concurrency, add the following section to /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/limits.conf on all search head nodes: [search] base_max_searches=192 ttl=60
