hi,

Is it possible to do this? I've a dashboard that hosts 4 searches/reports, my requirement is to refresh those reports every 5 seconds. I know I can auto refresh the entire dashboard, but can I auto refresh the reports themselves? thx

ps, each report contains different events from the last one hr.

You might consider changing each report to a real-time search, if you're really running things every 5 seconds over the past hour. That will update continuously, and may put less search load on the system.

I tried using real-time search in my dashboard xml like so:


source="C:\tmp\log4j2.log" userlogin bam
rt-5s <!-- my attempt to auto-refresh every 5 seconds
rt

but the results didn't include events within the hour, only the past 5 seconds. any pointers ? thx
