8. Because Log Observer Connect impacts compute resources (CPU and memmory), add a Workload Rule in Splunk Cloud Platform to limit Log Observer Connect searches. Follow the guidance in :new-page:`Create a Workload Rule in Splunk Web <https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/9.2.2403/Admin/CreateWLMRules#Create_a_workload_rule_in_Splunk_Web>` and configure the rule as follows:

8. Add a Workload Rule in Splunk Cloud Platform to limit the amount of time that Log Observer Connect searches can run. This limit maintains a responsive experience for Log Observer users and reduces the chances that Log Observer Connect searches are queued.

.. note:: Manage concurrent search limits using your current strategy in Splunk Enterprise. All searches initiated by Log Observer Connect users go through the service account you create in Splunk Enterprise. For each active Log Observer Connect user, four back-end searches occur when a user performs a search in the Log Observer Connect UI. For example, if there are three concurrent users accessing the Log Observer Connect UI at the same time, the service account for Log Observer Connect initiates approximately 12 searches in Splunk Enterprise.
