The time_window argument in the streamstats command is utilized to define a specific time period over which the calculations for streaming statistics will occur. This allows for more focused aggregations and calculations by limiting the dataset to a defined time interval, ensuring that the statistics reflect only the relevant time frames.

When setting a time_window, you typically specify a duration, like "10s" for ten seconds, or "1m" for one minute, which indicates how far back from the current event to look for data when performing calculations.

The other options do not fulfill this purpose. The window argument, for example, is related to the number of events and not specifically to a time-based duration. Reset_after is used to reset the calculations after a specific condition is met, and global defines whether a statistic is aggregated globally across all events versus within a specific scope. None of these options control the time period for calculations like time_window does.
