splunk real-time search does not scan incoming data

[tonytang]

Hi,all,
I made a real-time search with my own index,it looks like it can only scan event once, after one scan,splunk did not scan any other incoming data,my index has 2mins delay, and update file once a minite.For example, at 20:05, some data with [20:03] will be writed to splunk indexed file.
But the _internal index on my splunk work well with real time search.
My splunk version is 5.0.1

Anyone can help me , thank you very much.

My understanding is that a real-time search generally has a window - if an event that is indexed falls outside that window, it doesn't show up in the search. If you select "All time (real-time)" from the real-time menu in the time dropdown you will get every event as it comes in, no matter what the event time is.
