I am new to Cribl Search. We have our Palo Alto traffic logs backed up to AWS S3 buckets. We're being asked to search for four or so src/dest IP addresses over a 6-month period. Are there any tips to a speedy search - would it be better to kick off one search and just wait, or divide it into six separate concurrent searches, each over one month?... I am currently doing one month at a time, example:
set global:max_executors="auto";
dataset="S3_PAN_Traffic" earliest=1759276800 latest=1761955200 (src_ip in ("IPwhatever", "IPwhatever", "IPwhatever", "IPwhatever") OR dest_ip IN ("IPwhatever", "IPwhatever", "IPwhatever", "IPwhatever"))

The answer to your question of one search vs. concurrent searches would depend on the size of the dataset. For larger datasets dividing into multiple queries may be more efficient.
