Monitoring Splunk

How can I resolve clean-dispatch issues- Can't search, and dashboards are non functional?

Received error this morning on one of our non-distributed search head:

The minimum free disk space (5000MB) reached for /opt/splunk/var/run/splunk/dispatch.

Nothing works, cannot search, dashboards are non-functional.

 

Searching produces this error:

Search not executed: The minimum free disk space (5000MB) reached for /opt/splunk/var/run/splunk/dispatch. user=admin., concurrency_category="historical", concurrency_context="user_instance-wide", current_concurrency=0, concurrency_limit=5000

 

I did quite a bit of digging in the community and found the following on my instances, non-distributed:

 

Dispatch

Tried the clean-dispatch command on our bloated 8873 count in /opt/splunk/var/run/splunk/dispatch

Shut down splunk even run in sudo, results in error of Permission denied

Ran command:  ./splunk cmd splunkd clean-dispatch /temp -1day

bundle files

distsearches.conf  has no maxbundlesize addressing the large .bundle files in /opt/splunk/var/run

If I delete out the bundle files above, I can search for alittle bit on the search head, but then it craps out.

 

Now, I am at a loss after reading so many articles, how-tos and docs. I'm not a splunk guy, but I am trying to get this stable.
