Management - Cluster vs Global Kibana vs Space

[kobelb]

Currently, the management application in Kibana has a number of different management sections.

They're currently all in a flat list; however, each of them has a different "scope". 1) Cluster: these sections apply to the entire Elasticsearch cluster 2) Global Kibana: these sections apply to the entire tenant/instance of Kibana. Most users only use a single tenant/instance of Kibana, but it's possible to create a different tenant/instance by changing the kibana.index in the kibana.yml to create separate tenants 3) Space specific: these sections only apply to the currently selected space

I'm not certain whether it'd be beneficial to differentiate as much between cluster and global-kibana, as much as it is beneficial to differentiate between space specific and cluster/global-kibana.

We'd like to find a way to expose this "scope" on the management screen. The following sections have the specified scope:

Cluster

• Elasticsearch
  • Index Management
  • Index Lifecycle Policies
  • Rollup Jobs
  • Cross-Cluster Replication
  • Remote Clusters
  • Watcher
  • Snapshot Repositories
  • License Management
  • 9.0 Upgrade Assistant
• Logstash
  • Pipelines
• Beats
  • Central Management
• Security
  • Users
  • Roles

Global Kibana

• Kibana
  • Spaces
  • Reporting

Space specific

• Kibana
  • Index Patterns
  • Saved Objects
  • Advanced Settings
