Monitoring Splunk

How to troubleshoot why Splunk performance decreased and images were not displaying in navigation menus for a certain day?

Hi fellow Splunkers,

On May 30, Splunk was very slow and was not showing any images in the navigation menus.
I would like to know from you if you can think of any reason why this was happening?
Does this occur every 30th day of the month, was it just a fluke, does it happen when your internet connection is weak, or maybe it happens when you have no encryption?
I have no clue, so I hope that one of you can provide me with Insights in why this was happening.

Thank you very much for your answer.
Kind regards,

Donald

Hi Donald ,

Convert the images into base 64 encode and replace it instead of URL then it will be very fast

Thanks for your answer. It only happened one time though and I never had any more problems since it happened.
