You are optimizing a dashboard that runs a search over a very large index of firewall logs to show monthly traffic summaries. The dashboard is slow to load. Which approach would most effectively improve performance?

Increase the time range picker to include more data so the search can cache more results.

Add more panels to the dashboard to distribute the load.

Use a real-time search so the data is always fresh and the dashboard loads faster.

Use a summary index that is populated by a scheduled search, and have the dashboard search the summary index instead of the raw logs.
