When looking at a dashboard panel that is based on a report, you cannot modify the search string in the panel, but you can change and configure the visualization. This is because the dashboard panel inherits the search string from the report, and any changes to the search string will affect the report as well. However, you can customize the visualization settings for the dashboard panel without affecting the report. References: Splunk Core User Certification Exam Study Guide, page 37.

This means that you can use the index field to filter your search results by the name of the index that contains the events you want to see.

For example, if you want to search for events in the index named “gcp_logs”, you can use the following SPL:

index=gcp_logs

You can also specify multiple indexes by using the OR operator, such as:

index=gcp_logs OR index=oswin

 The difference between real-time and relative time ranges in the time picker is that real-time searches display results from a rolling time window, such as the last 15 minutes, while relative searches display results from a set length of time, such as yesterday or last week. Real-time searches do not happen instantly, but rather update periodically based on the refresh interval. Relative searches do not happen at a scheduled time, but rather when the user runs them. Real-time searches do not run constantly in the background, but rather when the user starts them. Real-time searches do not represent events that have happened in a set time window, but rather events that are happening now.
