Bug #71190	MEM refresh button seems to be configurable per page which is confusing

Description:
MEM 3.0.4 has a Refresh: selector (top right) on all of its pages.
by default this is Off.
You can change it to a different value so that the data being viewed gets updated periodically and that's nice, but _each_ page has to be set independently which basically means you have to set it in about 10 places.

While I guess that it's possible that people want different settings in each page and to remember each of those I think of this as a generic site wide setting applicable to any of the pages I'm looking at, and think that having a single setting which can be changed as needed which is used on any of the Dashboards, Events, ... Configuration pages would be much better.

How to repeat:
see above.

Suggested fix:
Please change the behaviour as described. The current behaviour is IMO not intuitive. You think you've set the value go to a different page and see it's different. 1 setting is really good enough.

Hello Simon,

Thank you for the report.

Thanks,
Umesh

The application has moved on some since this bug was opened, giving access to "live" current processes, and other statistics, via the sys schema reporting as well now.

In those cases, default refresh options per page of 5 or 10 seconds is not an unreasonable request (and of course already possible) on a per page/report basis.

So whilst this request may have been reasonable for just the old data, in today's application, it would be a regression.
