What would be the impact of disabling real time searches for existing dashboards and reports?

Hi Folks;

Wondering what would be the impact of disabling real-time searches for existing reports/dashboards? Of course when we set up Splunk, we never set the default to disable RTS. Now users are hosing our concurrency with running real-time searches and impacting performance.

I read the documentation on how to disable on default, and also how to disable per role, but how will that impact existing reports and dashboards that are using RTS?

The existing dashboards (for panels which are using real-time search), reports and alerts which are using real-time search would stop working.

Ok good to know, so that will be a nice battle to fight. I'll have to communicate out to users before blind-siding them.

Thanks for the quick response!!
