Splunk Search

How can I count different types of Splunk searches

Hello, I am reading the following resource from Splunk documentation and I find that there are 8 types of searches in Splunk.
I am listing them below.
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/6.6.3/Search/Dispatchdirectoryandsearchartifacts

(1) Local ad hoc search
(2) Saved search
(3) Scheduled search
(4) Remote search
(5) Real-time search
(6) Replicated search
(7) Replicated scheduled search
(8) Report acceleration search

I am trying to understand how can I count the number of such searches.

@arpit_arora , (Disitributed) Management Console or DMC built in to Splunk provides a lot of these insights. You have merged Search Modes (Real-Time, Historical, etc) and Search Types (Scheduled, Report Acceleration, Datamodel Acceleration etc) together.

You should check out following two Dashboards under DMC > Search

By Changing the Group By dropdown to Mode or Type, you should be able to gather analytical information as per your need. If not you can build your own query on top of these as per your use case.

Lots of those categories intermingle - some are run-time/past and some aren't.

As long as you are going for everything, you might as well add "skipped search" to the list.
