Splunk Search

limits.conf modify time out search

I am performing a query to generate a chart.

The query time range is the previous 7 days, when I use this time range I get the error message that I attach, but when I lower the time to 5 or 4 days if I get the information.

By discard it is because of the time it is taking, I don't know if I'm wrong but there is some configuration that limits a maximum time in seconds until it generates a take out or cancels it splunk.

Someone suggested that I review the limits.conf file, but when I review the documentation, I don't see which stanza I should modify.

I appreciate if someone can guide me

If your search is auto-finalizing before it completes, you'll need to adjust srchMaxTime for your role in authorize.conf. Also review srchTimeWin (maximum time range), srchDiskQuota, and other role-based limits, depending on the errors/messages shown.
