Hi fellow splunkers,
I have multiple search heads on which I want to increase the maximum number of (historical and) real time concurrent searches.
I have checked splunk answers on how to do it, and changed the limits.conf in the .../etc/system/local folder of Splunk on every search head. I put the following code in the limits.conf file: base_max_searches = 24 . Since the standard number of base_max_searches is 6, I thought an increase in the concurrency of 18 historical and/or real time searches would happen.
However, this was not the case, since I still had 14 concurrent searches. Then I thought, it would have to be a user limit or maybe a role limit, so I checked the concurrency with two different users (both admin priveleges) and assigned extra concurrent searches to a role, but both did not increase the maximum concurrency.
Does anyone have an idea what I did wrong or how I can increase the concurrency of both historical as well as real time searches?
