Kibana Feature API Privileges Names (#208067)\n\n## Summary\r\n\r\nAs
part of our effort to harden API action definitions and

class.\r\nIt is supposed to be used for both feature registration and
API route\r\ndefinition to construct the privilege
name.\r\n```ts\r\nplugins.features.registerKibanaFeature({\r\n

rule has been added to\r\nshow warning if the API privilege name doesn't
satisfy the naming\r\nconvention.\r\n\r\n### Naming convention\r\n\r\n-
API privilege should start with valid `ApiOperation`:
`manage`,\r\n`read`, `update`, `delete`, `create`\r\n- API privilege
should use `_` as separator\r\n\r\n `read-entity-a`\r\n
`delete_entity-a`\r\n `entity_manage`\r\n `read_entity_a`\r\n
`delete_entity_a`\r\n `manage_entity`\r\n\r\n> [!IMPORTANT] \r\n>
Serverless ZDT update scenario:\r\n>\r\n> - version N has an endpoint
protected with the `old_privilege_read`.\r\n> - version N+1 has the same
endpoint protected with a new\r\n`read_privilege`.\r\n> \r\n> There
might be a short period between the time the UI pod N+1 passes\r\nSO
migrations and updates privileges and the time it's marked
as\r\nready-to-handle-requests by k8s, and when UI pod N is
terminated.\r\n>\r\n> After discussion with @legrego and @azasypkin we
decided to ignore it\r\ndue to the perceived risk-to-cost ratio:\r\n> 1.
The time window users might be affected is very narrow because
we\r\nregister privileges late in the Kibana startup flow (e.g., after
SO\r\nmigrations).\r\n> 2. The transient 403 errors users might get
won't result in session\r\ntermination and shouldn't lead to data
loss.\r\n> 3. The roll-out will be performed in batches over the course
of\r\nmultiple weeks and implemented by different teams. This means the
impact\r\nper release shouldn't be significant.\r\n\r\n###

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
