Describe the feature:
I would like to propose a configuration setting to hide shard failure warnings from displaying in the Kibana UI. Failures would still be logged and could be alerted on but would not be displayed in the search/discover UI like the screenshot below.
Describe a specific use case for the feature:
Sometimes users will perform inefficient queries such as a plaintext query across multiple indices. While this is not ideal, it's to be expected of non-technical users. Administrators want to monitor for such events (through cluster logs) and alert accordingly. From here a decision can be made to adjust the
max_clause_count
or disregard.However, the current UX is very intrusive and leads to users reporting that the search functionality is broken.
Suggested solution:
Provide a setting in Kibana, for example
hide_ui_shard_warnings
(defaults to false) to suppress this behaviour.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
