How to detect cause & source of Search delays on Splunk Ent. In a clustered SH + Indexer environment. Thank u

[SamHTexas]

This includes High priority mostly. How do I view a list & provide a solution please. The error indicating the delays shows up as error message on the Ent. & even the ES server we have. Thanks a million.

There's a dashboard in Monitoring Console which displays the list of scheduled searches, their skip ratio and also the reason for them being skipped. You can navigate to it from Settings -> Monitoring Console -> Search -> Scheduler Activity -> Scheduler Activity: Instance

Under this dashboard when you scroll down, there's a panel named "Count of Skipped Reports by Name and Reason" 

Let me know if this helps your objective.

How would I do this on the ES? Does the MC has to be in Distributed mode? Thx a bunch.

Monitoring Console can work on Standalone mode as well. If you want the whole environment to be monitored via Monitoring Console, then all the Splunk Components should be added as distributed search peer to the monitoring console.
