During a high-priority incident, a user queries an index but sees incomplete results.

If a user queries an index during a high-priority incident but sees incomplete results, it is likely that the indexers are overloaded, causing queue bottlenecks.

Why Indexer Queue Capacity Issues Cause Incomplete Results:

When indexing queues fill up, incoming data cannot be processed efficiently.

Search results may be incomplete or delayed if events are still in the indexing queue and not fully written to disk.

Heavy search loads during incidents can also increase pressure on indexers.

How to Fix It:

Monitor indexing queues via the Monitoring Console (indexing>indexing performance).

Checkmetrics.logon indexers formax_queue_size_exceededwarnings.

Increase indexer capacity or optimize search scheduling to reduce load.
