How does report acceleration improve search performance?

By prioritizing the report's search in the scheduler queue

By caching the search head's web interface for faster page loads

By indexing the raw data more quickly during ingestion

By storing pre-computed results that can be reused when the report is run

A summary index is populated by a scheduled search that runs every hour and summarizes the last hour of data. A user notices that the summary index has no data for the time period between 14:00 and 15:00 yesterday. What is the most likely cause?

The data in the main index was not indexed during that hour.

The summary index was deleted and recreated.

The search time range was set to 'All time' instead of 'Last hour'.

The scheduled search failed to run during that hour.

A team has a saved report that uses timechart to show daily unique users over the last 30 days. They enable acceleration and set the acceleration time range to 30 days. After saving, they want to verify that the summary is being built. Where should they check?

The Report Acceleration Summaries page.
