Multi-search management

Multi-search management is used to manage multiple background searches to populate the results of various panels of the dashboard. Multiple searches run in the background, and the result of the search query is used to run post-process searches, which utilize the result of the background search to evaluate their own result.

Let me explain what multi-search management is so that you may understand it better. Suppose in the dashboard there are six panels and each panel takes 10 seconds for processing the search results. So for six panels, the time will be 60 seconds. Now, if we have a background search which gets all the data required by all six panels in 20 seconds, then using post-process searches instead of running a search on the whole data, the result of the background search is used and the time is reduced to almost three to four seconds per panel instead of 10 seconds per panel.

Thus, multi-search management can be used in a dashboard which has many panels to increase...
