Guided UI for updating managed ILM policies (usually associated with packages/integrations)

andreidan commented 10 months ago

Describe the feature: We have managed index templates and ILM policies shipping with fleet integrations/packages. It's very common for users to want to modify the ILM policies for the integrations and we have a couple of tutorials on how to achieve this that involve cloning the managed ILM policies manually, making the changes, updating the @custom component template. Namely:

(note that both tutorials are missing a step to point the existing backing indices to the new/ clone ILM policies - https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/issues/12166)

This is a very common operation as users would want to take advantage of tiers, searchable snapshots, and add/modify the retention.

This proposes we create a UI that is aware of integrations/packages and allows our users to easily implement the tutorials linked above.

I don't know if we should bundle this in here or consider it a separate issue, but I'd also want the same for Data Stream Lifecycle management. We'll probably switch to DSL by default in the future for APM.
