Hi,
Does a dashboard with a setting to refresh every 2 mins mean, there will be a new search launched every 2 mins?
Isn't it a resource consumption, especially when all the users keep on setting their dashboards to refresh without any legit reason?
How can I search all the dashboards which are using this setting so that I can chase those users to remove the refresh setting if not really needed?
It depends on the dashboard, but most will launch new searches every interval. An exception is for dashboard panels that use the loadjob command. Yes, it's a resource consumption and (IMO) auto-refresh dashboards should be discouraged.
Try this search for locating dashboards that use auto-refresh:
| rest /servicesNS/-/-/data/ui/views
| search eai:data="*<refresh>*"
| rex field=eai:data max_match=0 "\s<refresh>(?<refresh>\w+)"
| eval refresh=mvdedup(refresh)
| table title author eai:acl.app eai:acl.owner refresh description
