Closes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/218433 This change adds more descriptive error messages inside telemetry events in the auto detect onboarding flow. The extended error message be shown to the user as well. * New telemetry event for the case when user is not running the script as `root` * If Agent fails to download, bot the original error from `curl` and the download URL will be logged * If Agent fails to extract, error message from `tar` command will be logged * If Agent fails to install, error message from `elastic-agent install` command will be logged * Error response from the integrations install endpoint will be logged Example telemetry event:  Example terminal output:  ## How to test In order to simulate errors for all scenarios, you going to need to modify the `auto_detect.sh` script to make it intentionally fail, like adding extra character to the EA download URL. You can modify it directly in the source if you're running Kibana locally, or you can modify it after it was downloaded and before running it. To test just one use-case without the script manipulations, you can modify the EA download URL inside the code snippet provided by Kibana. **Whatever way you choose, still go though the flow and make sure the successful path works as expected.** You can check the telemetry events emitted from the flow on [the staging telemetry cluster](https://telemetry-v2-staging.elastic.dev/s/observability-ux/app/discover#/?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:60000),time:(from:now-24h%2Fh,to:now))&_a=(columns:!(),dataSource:(dataViewId:b4befdd3-9a15-40c2-be4d-3ac1084d6182,type:dataView),filters:!(),interval:auto,query:(language:kuery,query:'event_type%20:%20%22observability_onboarding%22'),sort:!(!('@timestamp',desc)))), but keep in mind that events delivered there with a delay of a couple of hours 😢 --------- Co-authored-by: Joe Reuter <johannes.reuter@elastic.co> |

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:
- Download the latest version on the Kibana Download Page.
- Learn more about Kibana's features and capabilities on the Kibana Product Page.
- We also offer a hosted version of Kibana on our Cloud Service.
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:
- CONTRIBUTING.md will help you get Kibana up and running.
- If you would like to contribute code, please follow our STYLEGUIDE.mdx.
- For all other questions, check out the FAQ.md and wiki.
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 |
