Hi,  
I want to set default value of refresh to 30 seconds and paused button to stop state initially. Please  
suggest how to achieve this by making changes in kibana code base and  
From where we are getting these default values ?

Currently -  
default refresh value is 0 seconds.

Instead of setting it through advance settings, Can i set it through elastic search.

> Can i set it through Elasticsearch

No, you can not set an advanced setting directly in Elasticsearch.

Kibana does use an API to set advanced settings. Use these docs [Using the APIs | Kibana Guide [7.6] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.6/using-api.html) to make the http request.  
The endpoint is `api/kibana/settings` and the payload looks like

```auto
{
  "changes": {
    "timepicker:refreshIntervalDefaults": "{\"pause\": true,\"value\": 30}"
  }
}

```
