Splunk Search

How can I find out the average run time of a query?

Based on Can I see the top skipped searches?

I got a couple of offending queries, with a message such as - The maximum number of concurrent running jobs for this historical scheduled search on this instance has been reached (279).

How can I find the average run time of this query - Lookup_Update?

You can check the job listing (Activity->Job) or run this search (substitute a specific search name, if you wish):

index=_internal source=*scheduler.log run_time=* savedsearch_name=* | stats avg(run_time) as avgRunTime by savedsearch_name

The run_time is in seconds, right?
