We're trying to track down high search load and having trouble figuring out how to id which dashboards are causing the high load due to searches. Audit logs provides the query which shows in-line searches with Sid containing "searchX", so 50 searches in a dashboard would launch searches with SID named search1 -> search50. How to trace those back to a dashboard?

Where does the setting go to set the default app to Search? In previous versions ..
user-prefs.conf:

would do it.

In splunkd.log we see:
01-31-2019 12:38:03.683 -0800 INFO Archiver - Archiving large_file=/opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/lookups/large_lookup.csv of size_in_bytes=262621937 (exceeding threshold=52428800)
This is actually useful for finding out how large lookup files are. What is Splunk actually doing with it?

Did you know you could just do
| inputlookup Saved_Tests.csv where ID="$enter_saved_test_id$ | .... etc
I'm not sure but this may speed up your search, vs loading the entire lookup file and then whittling it down after.

The setting was never removed in version 7. After months of dealing with the loss and non-working solutions, I discovered on my own that it had been relocated to "Edit Permission". The search will always run as Owner if is scheduled (makes sense). When configured as a saved search (not scheduled), the owner can set "Run As" to Owner or User via the Edit Permission.

Yes, however our users MUST be allowed to outputlookup. So cannot remove this capability.

Users are using outputcsv which generates the output on our filesystem which they cannot access as non-admins. How can we prevent them from using it (other than stating that fact).
It is dangerous since this output is generated in the same location as working files ($SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/...)
Reference: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/416877/will-csv-files-produced-by-the-outputcsv-command-b.html
outputlookup is allowed so we cannot remove output_file capability.

The solution is the save the search as a Report. Once you save it, you can go back in and edit it to see the option to enable Summary indexing. If you save it as an Alert, the summary indexing option is missing.

It looks like as of version 7, the user is no longer able to edit this setting (Run as Owner vs User). It has moved to Advanced Edit which may be available only to admins.
1 - Does run as "Owner" bypass index access security? Assuming the saved search is readable by a user, that user does not need access to the data to run the search and see results?
2 - Since the saved search is configured to run as "Owner", the Owner's quota will be consumed when the search is run?
The saved search spec describes this setting in:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2/Admin/Savedsearchesconf (I believe there is no change for this particular feature since version 6.6)

Thanks but the example did not support an actual by-clause
index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd*
| stats count by sourcetype
| map search="search index=_internal sourcetype=$sourcetype$ | timechart count as $sourcetype$ | predict $sourcetype$"
| stats values(*) as * by _time
I need predict to support "timechart count as $sourcetype$ by host" for example.

Is there a way to split by using predict.
I can predict on a single factor, e.g.
| timechart span=1h max(values) as values | predict values
How about:
| timechart span=1h max(values) as values by user?

instead of join, it may be more efficient to use lookup command. E.g.
index ="12345" sourcetype = "system_database" | lookup manual_db.csv deviceName | lookup manual_software_db.csv productFamily | lookup manual_software_db.csv | search swType=105 ...
Every subsearch is a search which needs to complete before Splunk can proceed to the next step so it is always a good idea to reduce the number of joins/subsearches wherever possible.

Known bug (now) SPL-154382:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.4/ReleaseNotes/Knownissues
Looks like changes to capabilities required to be able to see this list of summary indexes. The role that is scheduling the search needs to include "indexes_edit" and "dispatch_rest_to_indexers" capabilities. Once this is configured, user should see the list of summary indexes.

I've got a large number of orphaned objects that I'd like to clean up (delete). I don't see any way to do this in the UI:
Reassign Knowledge Objects view allows me to reassign (check a bunch of boxes) to myself. Once I do this, I can see the object in my list, however, I must go in one by one and click on Edit -> Select Delete.
Does anyone have a better/faster way to do this in version 7.0?

In version 6.6* and 7, it looks like the limit to table rows has been reduced to 10.
"Embedded reports do not have all the features of reports as viewed in Splunk Web. For example, embedded reports do not have drilldown functionality, support for workflow actions, table sorting, or field expansion. When embedded reports display table visualizations, those tables are limited to 10 rows. "
