One issue users may be facing is:
The proxy is not able to timeout due to the dashboard pinging the search jobs every 3 minutes or so.
Solution is to listen for the ui inactivity timeout and cancel the jobs once we have reached the ui inactivity timeout to allow the proxy to timeout.
There are two options
1. Edit their existing HTML dashboards to require 'helpers/Session’ and for each search job listen for Session timeout and cancel the jobs as shown below.
require([
"splunkjs/mvc",
"splunkjs/mvc/utils",
"splunkjs/mvc/tokenutils",
"underscore",
"jquery",
"splunkjs/mvc/simplexml",
"splunkjs/mvc/headerview",

'helpers/Session'
// Add comma-separated libraries and modules manually here, for example:

search1.on('search:done', function() {

, this);
});
Use the cancel_search_managers.js script pasted below and this script will iterate over all search jobs and cancel them once ui inactivity timeout has been reached in order to allow the proxy to timeout.
To use this script you will need to include this script in the appserver/static directory for all of the apps they want searches to be cancelled on timeout. You would include the file in etc/apps/ app /appserver/static/
require([
'splunkjs/mvc/searchmanager',
'splunkjs/mvc',
'helpers/Session',
'underscore',
'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'],function(
SearchManager,
mvc,
Session,
_
){
Session.on('timeout', function () {
_(splunkjs.mvc.Components.toJSON()).chain().filter(
function(cmp) {
return cmp instanceof SearchManager;
}
).each(
function(mgr){
mgr.cancel();
}
);
}, this);
});
Next update the simple xml dashboards and add the script attribute to the form or dashboard element. for example:
<form script="cancel_search_managers.js">
