Which time range picker configuration would return real-time events for the past 30 seconds?

The choice that would return real-time events for the past 30 seconds involves configuring the time range picker specifically for real-time searches. The option that specifies "Real-time - Earliest: 30-seconds ago, Latest: Now" is designed to capture data that is continuously being indexed in Splunk, making it suitable for monitoring current events or activities in the system.

This configuration effectively sets the time span from 30 seconds in the past to the present moment (now), enabling users to see events that are occurring in real-time within that short interval. This is particularly useful in scenarios where timely data is crucial, such as security monitoring or live system diagnostics.

In contrast, while other choices may allow for setting a relative time or defining a range, they do not specifically emphasize real-time searching capabilities, which is key for the requirement of capturing events as they happen within that precise timeframe.
