  • Add information to monitoring tab, by showing number of dropped events and storing APM Server logs or storing documents that could not be indexed.
  • Return response to agents for the next request, if documents have been dropped.
  • Add a warning to UI if number of fields in and index gets critical

There's some new discussions ongoing about having labels use the flattened field type, which would eliminate the mapping explosion issue altogether. We will need to address numerical labels somehow (see #3873), and for that we will need elastic/elasticsearch#61550. For flattened labels we will need elastic/kibana#25820.

I'll leave this open for now until there's some more certainty.
