What is the maximum number of concurrent searches allowed on an IDM per user?

In Splunk, the maximum number of concurrent searches allowed per user within an Identity Management (IDM) context is indeed set to 10. This limit is established to ensure that system resources are optimally utilized and maintain the performance and responsiveness of search operations. Allowing too many concurrent searches per user can lead to resource contention and degradation of service for all users accessing the same system.

By having a cap of 10 concurrent searches, Splunk enables users to perform efficient data analysis without overwhelming the search head with excessive requests. This limitation helps in managing the load on the infrastructure, ensures a balanced use of resources, and provides a more stable experience for all users engaged with the platform.

The specified number of concurrent searches reflects the balance between flexibility for users to run multiple searches and the technical constraints imposed by server capacity and performance considerations. This design choice promotes efficiency in handling queries and sustains optimal performance across the Splunk Cloud environment.
