Hi Splunkers,
I am aware of the calculation used to arrive at the max concurrent searches that can be executed on a search head.
No. of concurrent searches = max_searches_per_cpu x number_of_cpu's + base_max_searches
Here by default max_searches_per_cpu=1 and base_max_seaches=6
Now, let's consider a 2 CPU SH with 4 cores.
No. of concurrent searches = (1 x (2x4)) + 6 = 14
What I don't understand here is, how can I execute 14 concurrent searches when I only have the capability for 2x4=8 searches? What is the significance of base_max_search constant?
