By default, dashboards are auto refreshed. This means higher load, and doesn't always make sense. Some of our data are updated every 5 minutes only.
The only setting I could find is ´timepicker:refreshIntervalDefaults´ which would change the default settings for all.
Main request:
How about making a default refresh interval configurable and storable for every dashboard?
While we're at it:
Or for a dashboard group - which don't exist, but would make sense?
Sometimes, with not very responsible users, it would even make sense to set a limit on refreshing. But
(This was actually already requested as part of #3936 , but got lost on the way.)

+1 for this. I just had a user/soulless monster crush my cluster with a particularly heinous time interval and refresh rate combination, open extra tabs when it didn't return fast enough the first time, and then walk away from his terminal. I wound up wrapping Kibana in LDAP auth to stop his madness/identify him for cathartic beatings.

The culprit remains at large, but I will find him, oh yes, I will find him.

Can you give a little more info @ynux? How does it differ from being able to set the refresh interval per dashboard, here:

This is stored per dashboard if "store time with dashboard" is turned on.

Is there functionality missing in the current version, or has the functionality since been implemented since this issue is a bit old?

Closing this as it's unclear whether or not the current functionality is enough.

I could see a request for a global refresh interval limiter, or the ability for dashboard authors to turn off the refresh ability entirely at a dashboard level.
