[APM] Show APM services to recently accessed in Kibana Home

[elasticmachine]

Summary

We want to show recently viewed APM service as "recently viewed" in the Kibana sidebar. It should be formatted like;

APM [Service name]

It should only display a single item (logging only the most recently viewed).

I believe this is the Kibana docs for it https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core/public/chrome/recently_accessed/recently_accessed_service.ts

Thanks @alexfrancoeur, sounds pretty straight-forward. We'll implement this as described, and merge it after #16556.

@sqren Might need a short discussion around what we think is viable to put in the recently accessed from the APM app cc @makwarth

Original comment by @sqren:

@formgeist Sure, I've added it to our board and expect we'll would go over it Tuesday.

Original comment by @nreese:

Maybe we should bump the history to something a little higher, say 25 or 30 since the overflow gets put into a dropdown

Original comment by @formgeist:

In our Kibana Home meeting yesterday we discussed simply adding the last visited service only, since constantly adding breadcrumbs back to specific detail pages, doesn't really make sense. You'd much rather just simply go back to the overview page for a single service.

FYI #16556 was just merged

Original comment by @sqren:

@alexfrancoeur Thanks! I don't think this will make it in time for FF so it'll end up in 6.4. Is that ok?

@formgeist this is still the case, right?

Original comment by @alexfrancoeur:

@sqren that's fine, no worries 🍻

Original comment by @formgeist:

@sqren Yeah, that's still the intent to only show the last visited service.

@alvarolobato is this fix actually planned for 6.5? Looks like the issue was rolled over automatically a couple times. If you don't have a specific plan, would it be possible to remove the version label until the work actually happens?

[alvarolobato]

@rayafratkina no it's not. I've removed it, thanks for letting me know, it wen't under our radar for a while.

Is this ticket still relevant? I don't see any other apps showing up in "Recently viewed" (it's greyed out).

[formgeist]

@sqren There's currently a bug in master that greys out the Recently viewed panel #47325 - I think this ticket is still relevant, but probably needs a new description (what to show) and a screenshot of what the panel looks like today in Kibana (the current one is very old).

[sorenlouv]

Spring cleaning and closing due to inactivity. Feel free to open if this is still relevant.

[formgeist]

I'm afraid this is still relevant, as the recently viewed list is now active in Kibana, and we're not showing any APM links in there.

[sorenlouv]

Fair enough. Let's see how we can fit it into the roadmap in the near future.

[formgeist]

@sqren Updated the description to reflect more recent design with a description of what we want to include.
