[Stack Monitoring] [Test Scenario] Remote clusters

[chrisronline]

Testing

• Ensure you can see a remote cluster's monitoring data in the Stack Monitoring UI
• Ensure the Stack Monitoring UI still works if that remote cluster is unavailable ([Monitoring] Fix UX around an unavailable remote cluster #79202)

Able to see local remote clusters in the Monitoring UI, but not cloud. Using the Cloud UI to connect a standard IO deployment to a CCS Deployment doesn't make the second cluster show up in Monitoring.

@ravikesarwani Are you aware of this limitation? #85847 (comment)

[ravikesarwani]

I do not know the answer. I wasn't able to find this limitation listed in the Elastic Cloud documents. I think we should ping the Cloud team to confirm.

@Zacqary Did you configure CCS in the cloud UI, like:

[Zacqary]

Yep, I used the Add deployment button and did something like that. My ccs1 was a "Cross-Cluster Search" preset and my ccs2 was an "I/O Optimized" preset.

Can you share screenshots of your setup? With the above, it seems to work for me:

Tried it again and it works now. May have missed a step in my first attempt; it's possible I didn't log into ccs2's Kibana to enable Stack Monitoring.
