Add backend provider for default settings #6849

bevacqua · 2016-04-11T15:06:22Z

Implementation for #5317

GET /api/kibana/settings/:key retrieves current state for key
POST /api/kibana/settings/:key sets key to posted value
POST /api/kibana/settings sets each key: value in posted changes
DELETE /api/kibana/settings/:key changes key to its default value

In front-end, usage over config service API is preferred.

In server-side, usage over server.uiSettings() is preferred.

…moves settings.

The current, client-sided implementation of Advanced Settings will send an entire local copy of current settings to Elasticsearch whenever a setting is deleted, using .index(currentSettings). When a setting is just changed, in contrast, it will use .update({ [field]: value }) on the changed field.

I've opted to use the .update approach in all cases, and then when returning the properties from GET /api/kibana/settings, if the field has a value of null it'll use the default setting. Is this okay or would we rather query the current settings and re-index using that, risking running into timing issues?

src/plugins/kibana/server/routes/api/settings/register_get.js

+        .then(res => res._source)
+        .then(user => assign(defaults, user, nonEmpty))
+        .then(settings => reply(settings).type('application/json'))
+        .catch(reason => reply(Boom.create(500, `Elasticsearch failure.`)));


Use Boom.wrap() here, since you already have an error

Isn't it bad practice to forward errors as-is to the client-side?

src/plugins/kibana/server/routes/api/settings/register_set.js

+    method: 'POST',
+    handler: async function (req, reply) {
+      const key = req.params.key;
+      const value = req.query.value;


I feel like we should require the value key. Otherwise POST /api/kibana/settings/something is actually a DELETE

spalger · 2016-04-11T20:08:06Z

I think that an update with null approach is fine, but keep in mind that the "version" parameter can be used to prevent timing issues.

Questions I have

Should we update settings on other tabs (via local storage) when they change on the current tab?
Can custom settings be created/used by plugins that I should be aware of? Or what is (Custom setting) in the advanced_row template?

Other than that, and tests, work here is mostly done

Should we update settings on other tabs (via local storage) when they change on the current tab?

Lets focus on keeping the behavior we have in place, whatever that is

Can custom settings be created/used by plugins

Not really, but several plugins are hacking new configuration values into the front-end configuration services. Isn't a "blessed" way of doing this a part of this pr?

what is (Custom setting) in the advanced_row template?

This is for the hacks I mentioned earlier. If the configuration value doesn't have a definition in the defaults file it is "custom". See #4924

bevacqua · 2016-04-13T14:37:44Z

Great. I'll make sure to account for that.

LGTM!

This script will change default timezone used by Kibana to display timestamps. It is ingesting a proper setting directly into '.kibana' index stored in elasticsearch. It will also crate .kibana index if one doesn't exist with default settings replicated from Kibana: 1 shard with 1 replica only. After release of Kibana 5 we will refactor this script to use Kibana API: elastic/kibana#6849

We run the script under test in a separate process since that is closer to reality. This requires us to mock http endpoints using a real http server. We had to upgrade `mimic` and work around a few design issues as the tooling for doing this isn't very good. We might want to reconsider how we do this sort of testing if we have to do a lot of it. @combor & @benhyland
