Hi cyber_Maddy,

Overuse of real-time search can result in performance costs and in this you are not able to scheduled a real-time alert because of restrictions that have applied in your environment


Options for restricting real-time search are as follows:

1) Disable real-time search at the indexer level by editing indexes.conf for specific indexes.
2) Disable real-time search for particular roles and users.
3) Edit limits.conf to reduce the number of real-time searches that can be run concurrently at any given time.
4) Edit limits.conf to restrict indexer support for real-time searches.

The documentation, How to restrict usage of real-time search is where you will want to go.
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.2/Search/Restrictrealtimesearch

Also, make sure you're reading the documentation for your version of Splunk.
