System limits for Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring 🔗

Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring has system limits that help ensure good performance, stability, and reliability. These limits also protect the Infrastructure Monitoring multitenant environment. Exceeding these limits might degrade your Infrastructure Monitoring experience.

To help you avoid problems when you use Infrastructure Monitoring, consider the system limit information presented in this document. Besides, there are several out-of-the-box charts in Splunk Observability Cloud for the metrics described below. Admins can view these charts by navigating to Settings > Organization Overview.

This documentation uses the following abbreviations:

  • Active MTS (AMTS)

  • Data points per minute (DPM)

  • Event time series (ETS)

  • Inactive MTS (IMTS)

  • Metric time series (MTS)

The tables in this document summarize limits for these product areas:

For each limit, Splunk provides the following:

  • The name and value of each system limit

  • If available, the organization metrics associated with the limit

  • The impact you observe when you exceed the limit
