While we're waiting on a solution to better handle
ui_metrics
I think we should remove, de-emphasize or blatantly warn that the output of collecting your data that way offers no pragmatic way to analyze the data.We have a warning at the bottom of the documentation, but it's not nearly in your face enough. https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/plugins/usage_collection/README.md
I feel like I'm constantly telling folks to not use
ui_metrics
due to the way it's outputted, but teams still continue to implement. I'm wondering if it's because it has so much representation in our collection docs. When this happens, it puts us in a tough position saying that the key / value pairs are there, but you can't do anything with them. Teams end up expectingui_metrics
to collect all the data that's important to them, but then when we release, they can't actually use it in any meaningful way.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
