Too many search jobs found in the dispatch directory (found=28834, warning level=2000). This could negatively impact Splunk's performance, consider removing some of the old search jobs.

The above warning message is displayed in th GUI with the following error message:

[JobManager module] Splunkd daemon is not responding:

I am running Splunk version 6.0. Can someone assist in locating this dispatch folder in Ubuntu and how to fix this issue automatically.

Thanks

There are some more things you can do to try to aviod this;
(in addition to bwooden:s suggestion)

In limits.conf increase the following ;
[search]
dispatch_dir_warning_size =

For your searches / savedsearches.conf add the following or decrese these accordingly;
[NameOfSearch]
dispatch.ttl = 1h

In the UI for your search set the expiration shortest possible .

The dispatch folder is traditionally found in $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/dispatch

To clean it safely, you may use the clean-dispatch command.
