How many concurrent searches are possible in Splunk Cloud?

[LWilliamson1]

Hello,

I am considering migrating an environment to Splunk Cloud. How many concurrent searches are possible in the packages? I want to stay on the 5GB indexed, but I am concerned the concurrent searches may not be enough.

I believe this implies that Splunk Cloud is running on a 32 core host(max_searches_per_cpu) + 6(base_max_searches) searches coming to a total of 38 concurrent searches per search head. You may also be eligible for a search cluster in Splunk Cloud at volumes of 1TB/day and higher (Check with your sales rep). Once on a search cluster which requires a minimum of 3 nodes, you should be able to run 3 x (38) or a total of 114 concurrent searches.

By default Splunk cloud max_searches_perc will only let the scheduler use up to half of the 38 searches (19). You may be able to adjust that percentage upward if have fewer adhoc search users and wish to give the scheduler the ability to run more concurrent searches or lower the value to leave more adhoc searches for users.

max_searches_perc = <integer>
* The maximum number of searches the scheduler can run, as a percentage of the
  maximum number of concurrent searches, see [search] max_searches_per_cpu for
  how to set the system wide maximum number of searches.
* Default: 50

Splunk Cloud offers 38 concurrent searches per the documentation: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/7.0.0/Service/SplunkCloudservice and look under "Splunk Cloud service limits and constraints"

Please note, that this is a service and the concurrent search load might change with newer versions of the Splunk Cloud service offering.

I downvoted this post because agree with other down-voters. just want to know what this limit is set to, for my splunk cloud light instance.

I downvoted this post because wrong answer, question was about splunkcloud and not splunk enterprise

I was more looking for what kind of hardware Splunk provides with their Cloud offering specifically. I understand concurrent search requirements, just not how many they make available to your instance with their Cloud platform.
