[Infra UI] Cross-linking to Uptime

[dov0211]

Similar to the Uptime cross-link to Infra & Log UI #35133 we would like to allow a reverse integration from Infra UI to Uptime using the same fields (host.ip , container.id, kubernetes.pod.uid)
we should take a similar approach to the infra/apm integration #27319

@dov0211 I just want to confirm the behavior here.

• For Hosts, linking to Uptime should be done with host.name OR host.ip?
• For Kubernetes, linking should be done via kubernetes.pod.uid?
• For Docker, linking should be done via container.id?

What's the URL format we should use?

I would recommend that Uptime adopt the same strategy we are using in Infra/Logging with our link-to interface. It's a stable URL that then maps to the correct page in our system. This hides the implementation details on our end and allows us to make changes without affecting outside links.

we would like to use host.ip

For Kubernetes, linking should be done via kubernetes.pod.uid?
For Docker, linking should be done via container.id?

That is correct.

As for the URL format, I am adding @justinkambic @andrewvc

@simianhacker you can refer to this PR for the parameters we will accept: #35375

The format can look like:

http://localhost:5601/app/uptime#/?search=host.name%3Asomething

Essentially the search param will accept a KQL-formatted string. Here's another example:

http://localhost:5601/app/uptime#/?search=monitor.name%3Atest-page%20url.full%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A12349%2Ftest-page%20monitor.status%3Aup%20url.port%3A12349%20monitor.type%3Ahttp

Based on a meeting between Uptime and Infra UI we've decided that we will need to stick with host.ip. The snapshot API will need to add host.ip field to the attributes returned for a node. Once that is available in the snapshot data then we can link out to Uptime the using the same technique for Logs and APM.
