FTR tests for the core.analytics service

This suite allows us to test the event-based telemetry client provided by the core.analytics service.

How to add my own tests

Implement your own tests in the tests/instrumented_events/(from_the_browser|from_the_server)/ directory and list it in the tests/instrumented_events/(from_the_browser|from_the_server)/index.ts file.

There are 2 FTR helpers to allow you to retrieve the generated events:

1. For events generated in the UI, you can use kibana_ebt_ui to retrieve the events.
2. For events generated in the server, you can use the kibana_ebt_server helper.

The API is the same for both of them:

// To retrieve 2 events of type "my-event-type"
const events = await getService('kibana_ebt_ui').getEvents(2, { eventTypes: ['my-event-type'] });
expect(events).to...

If you are reusing these helpers in another suite, please remember to make sure to optIn via await getService('kibana_ebt_ui').setOptIn(true);

Refer to EBTHelpersContract for more details about the existing APIs and all the options they accept.
