[APM] Wrap Elasticsearch client errors #91125

dgieselaar · 2021-02-11T13:02:32Z

The stack trace from the ES client is not useful, as it loses the context of where the client was called. To get a useful stack trace, we create a new error. Additionally, we override message.toString() to see full ES error when logging to console, instead of only request metadata.

@elastic/kibana-operations I am wondering if there's a better way for the console output. Maybe the console output can be fixed for all errors? From what I can tell there's already a specific function to output errors - we can perhaps use util.inspect(error, { depth: null }) there?

The stack trace from the ES client is not useful, as it loses the context of where the client was called. To get a useful stack trace, we create a new error. Additionally, we override message.toString() to see full ES error when logging to console.

Not sure you can use it for anything in this context but have you played around with Error.captureStackTrace ?

I did, but that won't allow me to change the output of the error in the console. But I'll talk to some ops folks to see if we can address that issue for all errors rather than this hack.

@dgieselaar I think @elastic/kibana-core would be better equipped to help determine if there's a good place to log failures like this, we don't manage the loggers or ES client infrastructure used in the Kibana server.

dgieselaar · 2021-02-17T08:28:40Z

@spalger ah, TIL, thanks - I spoke to @rudolf about it already and I think he will talk to Tomas to figure out something that works for everybody by default. I'll merge this one in for now.
