Is it possible to export more than 2000 results using the export function?

The correct answer is that it is not possible to export more than 2000 results using the export function in Splunk. This limitation is in place to ensure efficient performance and to avoid overwhelming the output processes that could lead to issues when dealing with very large datasets.

When using the Splunk export command, users are typically limited to exporting a maximum of 2000 results at a time to balance system performance and usability. This means that should a user need to export more than 2000 results, they would have to adjust their search query to narrow the results or paginate through the results in smaller batches, which aligns with best practices for managing and exporting data efficiently within Splunk.

Understanding this limitation is important for users as they engage with large datasets and plan their search strategies accordingly to manage their data exports effectively.
