Hi All, I need to turn on the search parallelization "Batch mode search parallelization" but not sure where I need to configure this setting ? We have distributed Environment with 5 individual Forwarder, 5 individual Indexer, 3 search head cluster and thousands of UF configured.

/opt/splunk/etc/apps/test-app/local/limits.conf
[search]
batch_search_max_pipeline = 1

Whether it should be done on the search head or in Indexer instances. Kindly guide me on this.

This is what I read from documentation page : http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.3/Capacity/Parallelization#Batch_mode_search_paralle...

Adjusting the batch_search_max_pipeline setting in limits.conf to 2 multiplies the IO, processing, and memory used by batch mode searches ***on every indexer****.

It should be applied on Indexer, on limits.conf.
