OVERVIEW

 This file contains descriptions of the settings that you can use to
 configure search admission control for splunk.

 There is a workload_policy.conf file in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/ directory.
 Never change or copy the configuration files in the default directory.
 The files in the default directory must remain intact and in their original
 location.

 To set custom configurations, create a new file with the name workload_policy.conf in
 the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/ directory. Then add the specific settings
 that you want to customize to the local configuration file.
 For examples, see workload_policy.conf.example. You may need to restart the Splunk instance
 to enable configuration changes.

 To learn more about configuration files (including file precedence) see the
 documentation located at
