…12875) ## Summary This PR introduces a new plugin to relocate the [indices metadata telemetry feature](elastic#194004) out of the `security_solution` plugin, making it available across all cluster setups, not just security clusters. ### Key Changes - **Plugin Location:** `x-pack/platform/plugins/private`. - **Scheduled Task:** Core logic runs as a periodic Kibana task (currently runs frequently for testing; intended to run daily) to collect indices and ILM information. - **EBT:** Collected data is published as EBT documents. Defined events include: * `DATA_STREAM_EVENT` * `INDEX_STATS_EVENTS` * `ILM_STATS_EVENTS` * `ILM_POLICY_EVENTS` See `server/lib/ebt/events.ts` for details. - **Internal Configuration Schema:** Allows tuning query behavior: ```ts export const IndicesMetadataConfigurationSchema = schema.object({ indices_threshold: schema.number(), datastreams_threshold: schema.number(), index_query_size: schema.number(), ilm_stats_query_size: schema.number(), ilm_policy_query_size: schema.number(), }); ``` Default values are zero, meaning no queries run unless explicitly configured. - **Remote Configuration via CDN:** Implements the same manifest mechanism used by `security_solution`: * A signed config manifest (zip with `manifest.json` + `manifest.sig`) is downloaded via CDN. * An `rxjs` timer polls for updates. * Once verified, new config values are applied dynamically. - **Plugin-Level Settings:** Supports configuring the CDN URL and public key to verify signatures: ```ts const pluginConfigSchema = schema.object({ cdnUrl: schema.maybe(schema.string()), publicKey: schema.maybe(schema.string()), }); ``` As a reference, below are stats for the last 90 days for the current implementation inside `security-solution` | event_type | max_doc_size_bytes | avg_doc_size_bytes | |--------------------------------|--------------------|--------------------------| | telemetry_index_settings_event | 2,235,887 | 25,286.12 | | telemetry_ilm_policy_event | 577,148 | 3,390.25 | | telemetry_ilm_stats_event | 2,731,533 | 19,607.14 | | telemetry_index_templates_event| 5,788,583 | 36,688.70 | | telemetry_index_stats_event | 3,829,341 | 55,705.83 | | telemetry_data_stream_event | 6,885,418 | 17,581.92 | --------- Co-authored-by: kibanamachine <42973632+kibanamachine@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Elastic Machine <elasticmachine@users.noreply.github.com> (cherry picked from commit 92acdae)
