[Privmon] Synchronize Privileged User index based on configured Entity Sources (#221610)
# Summary
This PR introduces support for populating the Privileged Users index
from custom data sources (Elasticsearch indices) by querying Privileged
User Monitoring Saved Objects from a Kibana task.

Breakdown](https://www.figma.com/board/yBr1pBDGu4JqNxb5ZrULtk/MonEntitySourceSyncTask?node-id=0-1&p=f&t=q52ABMD5MLX0uGj1-0)
Working from the _"Synchronize Privileged User index based on configured
Entity Sources"_ section, to the right.
###  Implemented
• Registered the temporary type and mappings
• Created a Descriptor Client that saves it via soClient.create()
• Called Descriptor Client create method from PrivMon initialisation. 
* Testing above default Saved Object creation within PrivMon
Initialisation
* Update the entity_analytics:monitoring:privileges:engine task to: 
     *  Read all Saved objects of index type
     * query user.name values from given indexPattern
     * Apply any filters or matchers defined in the Saved Object
* Insert matched user.names into
.entity_analytics.monitoring.users-<space> with source type index.
     * Cleanup logic: 
     * Target pattern does not exist, log warning and continue task
     * Failures will be caught and do not interrupt task loop
* Remove previously stored user.names with source type index, that are
no longer present.
     * Component Testing

### 🚧 Wish List 
* Pull out sync functions from privilege monitoring data client into
their own sync service class / similar
* * Currently in the data client, they should not be on this layer. 
* Update GET and DELETE methods with dynamic id's for monitoring data
client as per [this
ticket](https://github.com/elastic/security-team/issues/12851)


# How to Test
- Pull branch into local machine
- Security experimental flag enable: 'privilegeMonitoringEnabled'
- Start up ElasticSearch and Kibana

**1. Optional - create the default index, this should just skip if you
don't make it.**

```
POST entity_analytics.privileged_monitoring/_doc
{
  "user": {
    "name": "default name"
  }
}
```

**2. Create test index/ indicies**

```
POST tatooine-/_bulk
{ "index": {} }
{ "user": { "name": "Luke Skywalker" } }
{ "index": {} }
{ "user": { "name": "Leia Organa" } }
{ "index": {} }
{ "user": { "name": "Han Solo" } }
{ "index": {} }
{ "user": { "name": "Chewbacca" } }
{ "index": {} }
{ "user": { "name": "Obi-Wan Kenobi" } }
{ "index": {} }
{ "user": { "name": "Yoda" } }
{ "index": {} }
{ "user": { "name": "R2-D2" } }
{ "index": {} }
{ "user": { "name": "C-3PO" } }
{ "index": {} }
{ "user": { "name": "Darth Vader" } }

``` 
**3. Register Monitoring Entity Source Saved Objects**
```
POST kbn:/api/entity_analytics/monitoring/entity_source
{
  "type": "index",
  "name": "StarWars",
  "managed": true,
  "indexPattern": "tatooine-",
  "enabled": true,
 "matchers": [
    {
      "fields": ["user.role"],
      "values": ["admin"]
    }
  ],
  "filter": {}
}

``` 
**- OPTIONAL: You can check what is in the monitoring entity_source
SO:**

``` 
GET kbn:/api/entity_analytics/monitoring/entity_source/list
``` 
**4. Initialise monitoring engine:** 
```
POST kbn:/api/entity_analytics/monitoring/engine/init {}
``` 

**5. Verify Users in Monitoring Index**
- Check the list of synced user, should include: 
- - The created users
- - The default user (if you created it)

```
GET kbn:/api/entity_analytics/monitoring/users/list
```   

**e.g. output:**

```
[
 {
   "id": "FkMJoZcB7muj1aiwb_eQ",
   "user": {
     "name": "C-3PO",
     "is_privileged": true
   },
   "labels": {
     "sources": [
       "index"
     ],
     "source_indices": [
       "tatooine-"
     ],
   }
 },
 {
   "id": "F0MJoZcB7muj1aiwb_eQ",
   "user": {
     "name": "Chewbacca", 
      "is_privileged": true
   },
   "labels": {
     "sources": [
       "index"
     ],
     "source_indices": [
       "tatooine-"
     ],     
   }
 },
// ... more here 

```

## Testing: Removing Stale Users
The engine should soft delete users from the internal index if they no
longer appear in the synced sources - e.g. label as
monitoring.privileged_users: "not_monitored"
**Example:**

- Delete users in index: 
```
POST tatooine-/_delete_by_query
{
 "query": {
   "terms": {
     "user.name.keyword": ["Chewbacca", "Han Solo"]
   }
 }
}

```
- re-run engine init

```
POST kbn:/api/entity_analytics/monitoring/engine/init
{}
```
-Fetch the updated user list: 

```
GET kbn:/api/entity_analytics/monitoring/users/list
```
You should now only see both Chewbacca and Han Solo are no longer
privileged:
```
// ..
{
   "id": "GUMJoZcB7muj1aiwb_eQ",
   "user": {
     "name": "Han Solo"
     "is_privileged": false 
   },
   "labels": {
     "sources": [],
     "source_indices": [],
   }
 }
]
```

Kibana

Kibana is your window into the Elastic Stack. Specifically, it's a browser-based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch.

Getting Started

If you just want to try Kibana out, check out the Elastic Stack Getting Started Page to give it a whirl.

If you're interested in diving a bit deeper and getting a taste of Kibana's capabilities, head over to the Kibana Getting Started Page.

Using a Kibana Release

If you want to use a Kibana release in production, give it a test run, or just play around:

Building and Running Kibana, and/or Contributing Code

You might want to build Kibana locally to contribute some code, test out the latest features, or try out an open PR:

Documentation

Visit Elastic.co for the full Kibana documentation.

For information about building the documentation, see the README in elastic/docs.

Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch

Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers. If your Elasticsearch has an older version number or a newer major number than Kibana, then Kibana will fail to run. If Elasticsearch has a newer minor or patch number than Kibana, then the Kibana Server will log a warning.

Note: The version numbers below are only examples, meant to illustrate the relationships between different types of version numbers.

Situation Example Kibana version Example ES version Outcome
Versions are the same. 7.15.1 7.15.1 💚 OK
ES patch number is newer. 7.15.0 7.15.1 ⚠️ Logged warning
ES minor number is newer. 7.14.2 7.15.0 ⚠️ Logged warning
ES major number is newer. 7.15.1 8.0.0 🚫 Fatal error
ES patch number is older. 7.15.1 7.15.0 ⚠️ Logged warning
ES minor number is older. 7.15.1 7.14.2 🚫 Fatal error
ES major number is older. 8.0.0 7.15.1 🚫 Fatal error
