how do I get live updates into a Splunk dashboard?

I am creating a punch card dashboard. How do I get it to update every few seconds ?.

If the intent is to refresh the entire dashboard, you need to add the refresh attribute and indicate the interval in seconds.

For example:

 <form refresh="30">

Additionally, you can also change your search to real-time (rt) search in order to get the data as soon as it appears into splunk. However, that may be costly in terms of performance.
