Monitoring Splunk

Splunk overall performance with auto refresh dashboards

How autorefresh dashboard will impact the performance of splunk app in general.
So, the dashboard i'm planning to enable auto refresh consisting of 4-5 panels(searches) and will refresh every 40-60 secs.
Will it result to degradation/reliability issues of the app? Knowing that currently there are alerts (via emails) currently configured?

This is very common. One dashboard, with efficient construction (using base_search design, etc.) and NOT USING realtime will not create any problems for anybody.

thanks @woodcock . first time to hear the base search and i'm reading about it now. Not using realtime? the dashboards searches the time range now up to 15 mins. DO you think it will impact? I'm just worried as the other alerts are not mine and they might lift their eyebrows on me.

Is that 15-minute realtime window? If so, you are creating big problems.

the xml code consisting the below.

latest = 15minutes
earliest= now

Does this mean realtime searching? i read somewhere that you can also put the word "realtime" to actually parse realtime.

No, that is not realtime. It is fine.
