A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A saved search that used to finish in seconds now runs for two minutes, and you want to see where the time goes. Which tool shows that?
Correct.
Checked against help.splunk.com, August 2026Concept
A slow search rarely announces which part is slow. A tool that itemises the cost turns tuning from guesswork into reading a report.
Why A
Splunk states that the Search Job Inspector and the Job Details dashboard are tools that let you take a closer look at what your search is doing and see where the software is spending most of its time.
