can anyone let me know how to find the total concurrent searches in splunk for example in the last few days etc and the details of the search

i was doing this
index=_internal source=*metrics.log group="search_concurrency" host=A | timechart span=1m sum(active_hist_searches) as concurrent_searches by host

but i cannot see the type of searches or the search string etc in it. is there a way to find it out

You could probably accomplish your goal, using Splunk internal information. The running jobs are normally tracked by Splunk as follows:

Saved Searches: index="_internal" sourcetype="scheduler" earliest=02/05/2011:12:20:00 latest=02/05/2011:12:25:00

Manual Searches: index="_internal" sourcetype="searches" earliest=02/05/2011:12:20:00 latest=02/05/2011:12:35:00
