Splunk Search

Why is the REST API bringing back default configuration values?

The REST API seems to return default values for max_searches_per_cpu, while the btool command brings back the actual values.

 

 

| rest splunk_server=* /services/search/concurrency-settings/search 
| table * 

 

 

Any thoughts?

Hi @danielbb 

Strange, it matched for me OK (v8.2.7)

btool query

 splunk btool limits list --debug | grep max_searches_per_cpu

Splunk query

| rest splunk_server=* /services/search/concurrency-settings/search 
| stats max(max_searches_per_cpu) BY splunk_server

 Have you recently made a change to this setting?
