Performance Optimization

Poorly designed dashboards can overload the search heads. Performance optimization relies heavily on Base Searches and Post-Process Searches.

A Base Search runs once and its results are shared across multiple panels via Post-Process searches, dramatically reducing the load compared to running independent searches in every panel.

Question 1 of 1
A dashboard has 10 panels, each running an identical search with different `stats` commands. How do you optimize this?
ASet all 10 searches to run on a 1-second interval.
BCreate a single Base Search that fetches the raw data, and use 10 Post-Process searches to independently transform it for each panel.
CRemove 9 of the panels.
DUse the `| head 1` command on each search.
