Show the _slm/status somewhere in Kibana Managment

[stouch]

Describe the feature: Like some other users, I encountered this issue : [slm] Snapshots are just ignored when scheduled, but manual _execute works - #5 by stouch

Even if it can look like a dummy issue, I think it would be nice to get the _slm/status status information somewhere in the Snaphot Managment page of Kibana (/app/management/data/snapshot_restore/snapshots).

Right now, when your slm status is STOPPED, nothing alerts you. Or maybe i missed it ?

Describe a specific use case for the feature: It would avoid this kind of problem : [slm] Snapshots are just ignored when scheduled, but manual _execute works - #5 by stouch

Proposal

1. Changes to the "Snapshots" tab

• Surface the snapshot state as a column in the table view (ES API documentation)
• Improve the layout of the details flyout

2. Changes to the "Policies" tab

• Surface the policy status as a column in the table view (ES API documentation)
• Surface the policy status in the details flyout

Hi @stouch We do show the policy status in the details flyout of each policy. Is this what you had in mind?

No I mean the _slm/status (it may be stopped but impossible to know it from the GUI) I had to make an API request to get the status : https://discuss.elastic.co/t/slm-snapshots-are-just-ignored-when-scheduled-but-manual-execute-works/321429/3

I have updated the issue description with the design that we plan to implement.

I have some doubts about this issue. In the policies tab the proposal is to display the snapshot lifecycle management (SLM) status for each policy, but from what I've learned from reading the documentation and testing on the console, the SLM status is common for every policy.

// Query
GET _slm/status

// Response. Options [RUNNING, STOPPING, or STOPPED]
{
  "operation_mode": "RUNNING"
}

You can start and stop SLM but it’ll affect the whole lifecycle. So, the info proposed in the mocks will be redundant since it would always be the same status for all the policies:

Another important thing to have in mind is that when the SLM is stopped, the policy doesn’t even run and it won’t be considered a failure. It’ll not be reflected in the snapshot list, it would just be skipped.

Hi @jovana-andjelkovic! in the current implementation of detail for an snapshot we have a tooltip for the partial state. Do we wanna keep it? I think is useful information. In case do wanna keep it, should we also display it in the list?

Current behavior:

How this would look like if we keep it in the new implementation:

[jovana-andjelkovic]

@SoniaSanzV great catch! Yes let's keep the tooltip and add it to the table view as well. If any other states have tooltips as well, let's keep them.

Let's maybe add tooltip on hover of the "status" component in table, rather than adding in the question mark icon.
