Complex configuration form / wizard for Add Data tutorials #16274

Open alexfrancoeur opened 6 years ago

alexfrancoeur commented 6 years ago

Some beats / logstash modules can require complex configuration editing. For example, we could try to guess the ES/KB URL from within Kibana, but there's going to be corner cases (like when using a proxy in front of Kibana). Today we direct them to our docs and expect them to put together their own configuration. In the future, we could provide a modal window that consists of a human readable form with labels and descriptions to customize the configuration settings. The end result being a code snippet to copy and add to the appropriate configuration file. Some competitors have taken a similar approach for ingestion instructions.
