for example : If i dont use " limit = 0 "it will return unlimited number of lines in search result but without using this command what would be the maximum number of lines it can return by default ?? whether splunk has any restrictions for maxmimum number of lines ??
Check this below link,
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.6.2/Admin/Limitsconf
[searchresults]
maxresultrows =
* Configures the maximum number of events are generated by search commands
which grow the size of your result set (such as multikv) or that create
events. Other search commands are explicitly controlled in specific stanzas
below.
* This limit should not exceed 50000. Setting this limit higher than 50000
causes instability.
* Default: 50000
