[SLM] Testing UI with large number of snapshots?

[paulcoghlan]

Describe the feature:
Test SLM UI with a large number of snapshots.

Describe a specific use case for the feature:
Some users may wish to retain snapshots for several years, in which case they may accumulate a very large number of snapshots.

Would it be possible to test the SLM UI pages (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/snapshot-repositories.html) to ensure that they are still performant when managing a large number of snapshots (say 3000?).

@yuliacech I believe your pagination work will address this, is that right?

Thanks for pinging me, @cjcenizal!

@paulcoghlan We've recently added a limit of 1000 snapshots that can be displayed in the SLM UI (#103331) with newest snapshots being loaded first and a warning if more snapshots exist but can't be shown. This is a temporary measure to avoid any performance issues in the UI for clusters with a large number of snapshots. Once Elasticsearch API changes are completed to improve scalability of the snapshots endpoint, we can implement a scalable pagination approach in the UI as well.

Closing this since #110266 implemented server side pagination for snapshot table that solves any potential performance issues when the cluster has a large number of snapshots.
