I can easily do a 'between' @timestamp filter for either a saved search or Kibana Visualization in order to display data from a constantly updating index (via Logstash) for a time period within the past (say) 34 seconds.

How do I set up a similar filter for a Vega visualization that is also displaying data from a constantly updating index?

I think you use the %timefilter% interpolated value in your ES query:

Chris,

The mgpnlquery\* index is being refreshed every 30 seconds. How can I adjust the following data input section for the visualization to only accept data for the the past 34 seconds?

"data": [  
{  
"name": "sp500",  
url: {  
# The %-enclosed keys are handled by Kibana to modify the query  
# before it gets sent to Elasticsearch. Context is the search  
# filter as shown above the dashboard. Timefield uses the value  
# of the time picker from the upper right corner.  
%context%: true  
%timefield%: @timestamp  
index: mgpnlquery\*  
body: {  
size: 1000  
\_source: ["@timestamp", "price", "account", "acctype", "region"]  
}  
}  
"format": { "property": "hits.hits" }  
},

I solved this issue with the following range query:

"data": [  
{  
"name": "sp500",  
url: {  
# The %-enclosed keys are handled by Kibana to modify the query  
# before it gets sent to Elasticsearch. Context is the search  
# filter as shown above the dashboard. Timefield uses the value  
# of the time picker from the upper right corner.  
# %context%: true  
# %timefield%: @timestamp  
index: mgpnlquery\*  
body: {  
size: 1000  
\_source: ["@timestamp", "price", "account", "acctype", "region"]  
"query": {  
"range" : {  
"@timestamp" : {  
"gte" : "now-34s",  
"lt" : "now"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
"format": { "property": "hits.hits" }  
},
