Stream Data to Dashboard

[shangshin]

Hi,
Splunk search has a panel "Sources" which is a table of 3 columns. (source, Count, and Last Update)
The values of the last 2 columns are updated constantly without the page being refreshed. I need to create a dashboard showing real-time data e.g. stock price. I tried the solution by adding an xml attribute (refresh="30") but it's not ideal. Can you please advise on how to achieve the goal using the method in splunk search page? Thanks!

You can create realtime searches and add them to a dashboard. Simply select a real-time range instead of a historic one from the timerange picker (next to the search bar). When you use such a search in a dashboard, the content will be updated automatically.

For more information on realtime search, see the Splunk docs:
