Alert scheduler question- How to run in seconds?

Good afternoon! I figured out how to set up alerts. Understood with the parameter: Cron Expression.

Currently I am using: */1 * * * * (run every minute).

Tell me how to run in seconds, I tried a lot of options, but the splunk swears - it gives an error. How, for example, to run every 30 or 40 seconds?

 

Thanks in advance!

Cron jobs do not support seconds -- I'm not sure why you need to run something this frequent?

Understood thanks!
Well, how to say, for demos and testing, such intervals are convenient.

You can try scheduling it as a real time search which causes it to run continously and process data as it comes in.
