Hi Team,

I have created a hack in Kibana and want it to run only once. So on refresh this hack should not run. It should run only once.

Does Kibana provide any provision to achieve this?

Hello,  
Kibana doesn't officially offer any support for this. You could solve you problem by saving a cookie in local storage and check for it before running your part of the code.
