Hi Splunk members,

How Can I get some metrics to indicate things like search concurrency, search queue depth, cancelled/timed out searches, etc by search head and by indexer?

Hey@splunker969,

You can try using metrics.log for various parameters.
Eg: index=_internal source=*metrics.log group=search_concurrency "system total" OR you can also use audit logs.

Let me know if this helps!!
