[Ingest Manager] Discuss: how to integrate with Registry OpenAPI

[jfsiii]

Ingest Manger (EPM) depends on the package registry. And the package registry publishes an OpenAPI spec https://github.com/elastic/package-registry/blob/master/openapi.yml

Ingest might want to reference the available servers, generate clients, or lots of other options

How do we deal with that dependency?

Manually:

• run script(s) to
• import the file

Link:

• npm dependency?
• GitHub API: e.g.

  curl https://api.github.com/repos/elastic/package-registry/contents/openapi.yml \
      -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.raw+yaml" \
      > path/to/openapi.yml
  

• git submodule 🤢

I think I would keep it manual for now and in the kibana repository. For a few reasons.

• We are the only consumer of the package registry.
• The API surface is really thin.
