Hi

I want to refresh my Dashboard every five minutes
I use this code but it doesn't work.
Can someone tell me what is the problem?

  <fieldset autoRun="true" submitButton="true">
    <input type="time" token="field1">
      <label></label>
      <default>
        <earliest>-5m</earliest>
        <latest>now</latest>
      </default>

<default>
         <earliest>-5m</earliest>
         <latest>now</latest>
       </default>

This will set default time for time range input as last 5 min and it is not for refreshing the dashboard.
try this:

<form refresh="120">
<fieldset autoRun="true" submitButton="true">
<input type="time" token="field1">
       <label></label>
       <default>
         <earliest>-5m</earliest>
         <latest>now</latest>
       </default>

You can use below code :

<dashboard refresh="300">

00 seconds = 5 minutes

Hi @p_gurav 

Thank you for sharing your answer. 

In my dashboard, the SPL uses saved search as well to get some data. Thus, when we use 

<dashboard refresh="300">

does it run the saved search at every refresh? Or does the saved search run independently as per its pre-defined schedule only?

Thank you
