Replace slow raw-event stats with tstats against accelerated Splunk data models for faster dashboard queries.
Raw SPL searches on large indexes can take minutes. By rewriting panels to use tstats and accelerating the relevant CIM data models, you can reduce runtime to seconds, but you must manage disk usage and rebuilds. This guide walks through the rewrite, trade‑offs, and a practical rollout plan.
A tstats query is only fast when it reads an accelerated data model summary. Learn how to configure acceleration, verify it is active, and avoid silent raw-search fallback.
Learn how the Splunk tstats command bypasses raw event scanning to speed up dashboards by querying indexed fields and accelerated data model summaries.
