Concurrent Searches

Logger can now run concurrent searches from different tabs.

Maximum Concurrent Searches

The number of concurrent searches you can run depends on your system load, search size, and other factors.

• The Logger default (set in the Configuration > Search Options page) is set to 0 (unlimited) running or finished searches, but a Logger admin can adjust this number to between 1 (no concurrent searches) and 1000.

• This value limits the total number of searches in memory (running or finished) by the Logger, not by the user.

  For example: For a Logger set to a maximum of ten concurrent searches, if user A is running six searches, user B will get an error if she tries to run more than four concurrent searches before any of the searches expire.

Expiry Time

The amount of time Logger holds the search results in memory before deleting them can also affect your search capacity. Each search you run consumes Logger storage space and CPU bandwidth.

• For this reason, the default expiry time for searches is ten minutes. A Logger admin can adjust this time to between 1‑60 minutes.
• Clicking the Session ID opens the search results in a new tab and resets the expiry time. Using the pagination link (moving through the display pages) for a search also resets the expiry time.
• The expiry time affects both concurrent and standalone search results.

Other considerations

When running concurrent searches, take note of the following information:

• The maximum search and expiry time is set from the Configuration > Search > Search Options page. You must have administrator permissions to use this page. See Concurrent Search Options.
• Administrators can view and delete ongoing searches from the Configuration > Search > Running Searches page. See Running Searches.
• Dashboard searches, while they are running, are included in the search maximum, but are not listed in the search dashboard page.
• Maximum search limits do not apply to saved or scheduled searches.
• Maximum search limits do not apply to searches and queries run from the Reports tool. However, running reports while also running search queries will likely affect your performance.

• When configuring the maximum search limit, consider the number of Logger Search Reports and the limit of concurrent searches. Maximum search limits do not apply to searches and queries executed from reports tool using MySQL Reports but it is impacted by the Logger Search Reports. Running Reports while also running search queries will likely affect your performance.
