More generic docs for use in APM Server #6184

roncohen · 2018-01-25T19:44:16Z

Use specific beat name name instead of "the Beat"
Make Logstash and other outputs optional for the beat
Decouple the index pattern from the beat name

dedemorton

One minor typo; otherwise, LGTM with one caveat: I only tested that the docs build without errors. I didn't verify that the new conditional sections render as expected.

@roncohen Seeing you pushed some more change, I'm curious if it's ready for merge? As Dede is off this week, please ping me if yes.

roncohen · 2018-01-30T16:44:06Z

roncohen · 2018-01-31T13:11:34Z

@tsg @dedemorton can one or both of you sign off on this one?

dedemorton · 2018-02-14T17:45:52Z

@graphaelli Oh sorry. I was on vacation when the notification came through and didn't see the notification from GitHub. I'll take a look sometime today.

I don't think asciidoc supports this style of conditional coding. When I ran with has_ml_jobs: no, the description was blank.

You might need to wrap the text in its own statement:

ifeval::["{has_ml_jobs}"=="yes"] :setup-command-short-desc: Sets up the initial environment, including the index template, Kibana dashboards (when available), and machine learning jobs (when available) endif::[] ifeval::["{has_ml_jobs}"!="yes"] :setup-command-short-desc: Sets up the initial environment, including the index template, and Kibana dashboards (when available) endif::[]

@dedemorton OK to merge?

dedemorton · 2018-02-21T18:07:20Z

@roncohen Yes (as long as the CI failures look OK to you...TBH, I'm never quite sure which CI failures I can ignore).

Do we need to backport these changes to 6.2? Or are they for 6.3 and later?
