[Enterprise Search] Log warning for Kibana/EntSearch version mismatches #100809

cee-chen · 2021-05-27T18:06:53Z

Summary

Adds a small Kibana log warning whenever Enterprise Search polls the config data endpoint (e.g. for access check, on plugin load) and warns if versions are mismatched.

We should always see this on dev since Kibana's master is 8.0.0 and Ent Search's is 7.x:

Checklist

FYI, no i18n for log messages is required from my last recollection of asking this question.

Unit or functional tests were updated or added to match the most common scenarios

I was 50/50 about pulling this out to a separate helper const vs. keeping it inline in the main fn, but I figured there was enough complex logic going on in the main fn (timeouts, etc.) that it was a little nicer to pull this out to its own thing 🤔 If you feel strongly otherwise though I can change it, LMK

Code-wise this looks fine to me, but I'm not sure I understand how often this log message will appear for a user. I can think of a few SDH issues that were somewhat complicated by noisy but ultimately benign error messages we had to filter out. Just want to validate that this will is the right time/place/rate for this message to encourage them to resolve the version mismatch

cee-chen · 2021-05-28T17:19:37Z

Simplified explanation, but it essentially happens primarily "on load" and that's it.

We call callEnterpriseSearchConfigAPI for two things:

On initial Kibana load/visit, to check whether the user has access to App Search/Workplace Search (and disable the plugin if not)
On initial Enterprise Search plugin load/visit (any of the 3 plugins - navigating between Enterprise Search plugins does not trigger a new call, navigating out to (e.g.) Observability and then back to Enterprise Search will re-trigger). This call grabs the initial app data that we used to hydrate our React apps with on load.

It should not re-log after that. I don't anticipate this being a noisy log especially for users that primarily stay on Enterprise Search. It has the same conditions as the "timeout warnings" which the Kibana team/security team told us to put in so at the very minimum it won't be noisier than that :)

Oh, I should add the two logs in a row in the PR screenshot was me deliberately hard refreshing the page to test if the logs were working.

That was, admittedly, what sparked my curiosity.
