I am having an issue with our Splunk Server. Every search you run, no matter all the filters, or if you create it basic, the search will say "Parsing" for almost 100 - 120 seconds before it searches. Sometimes if i search a block of records for 7 days and it contains 300,000 records it will parse for 120 seconds and the search will only take 80 seconds.
I have this running on a Virtual Machine that has 8 CPU and 16 GB of RAM dedicated. I cant find that this is a CPU or Memory Issue.
Any Help would be greatly Appreciated.
Found that we needed a bigger more distributed environment. We are using Amazon Web Services and initially went to a larger EC2 unit. We also went with a CPU optimized configuration, we had been using a memory optimized unit. Still not the performance we wanted so we broke up our environment into a forwarder, 2 indexers and 1 large search head. We get awesome performance now.
I've got the same pb here.
10 minutes delay during parsing phase for any schedule or adhoc search (except if it's directly |), even when it should be low hour usage.
the server is loaded and does too much things but this doesn't explain the behaviour and what I should monitor.
splunk version is 6.2.2 , linux 64 bit, 8 core
this looks to me like there's some queue limit somewhere.
Any idea where to look for ? (every search included on splunk logs is delayed so it's slow to debug...)

did you find an answer for this? we are experiencing the same problem,deja vu... did you find a solution? we are seeing the same thing
64 bit, I assume? How many IOPS on this machine? Have you looked at the Search Job Inspector, which will give you better information about this particular job? Have you looked at the Splunk _internal
index for warnings or errors that might indicate performance bottlenecks?
Linux CentOS
I'd open a support ticket. What OS are you running?
