[Console] Add load-balancing for ES requests #172556

Open yuliacech opened 11 months ago

yuliacech commented 11 months ago

Even when several ES hosts are configured for Kibana, Console will always use the first available host from elasticsearch.hosts and send the request there (see this file). This could lead to this host being impacted and get a degrading performance. We should add a mechanism to distribute the requests between all available hosts configured in elasticsearch.hosts. Maybe we could reuse the load-balancing algorithm from Kibana.

Somewhat related issues:

IMHO load-balancing is not so important for the Console. But support failover is helpful.

Our cluster has 2 dedicated coordinators. The first was no more available and I had to comment it in Kibana.yml because failover is not supported.
