So I got this error today:
Your maximum disk usage quota has been reached. usage=114MB quota=100MB The search was not run.
I know I can up this in authorized.conf with srchDiskQuota for the appropriate role. Curious though where on disk this is stored and how it naturally gets cleaned up? I assume the data doesn't stay around endlessly.
Thanks,
Scott

The data is stored below:
/opt/splunk/var/run/splunk/dispatch
And it stays around for 10 minutes if it is not a background job. In that case it will stay around forever
You can see the expiration time of the jobs and delete or save data by using the "Jobs" menu

Thanks. I can see the jobs they ran, but can't seem to figure out why it took up so much space - definately not taking up 100M of actual space on disk. Only one job in the list for this user that had more than a 100 or so results and that was only 34k.
