Update breadcrumbs for observability project based navigation
(#196785)\n\n~⚠️ I'm still putting out some fires with tests, but this
is ready to\r\nstart being reviewed.~\r\n\r\n## Summary\r\n\r\nA
continuation of https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/196169
for\r\nObservability (please read that PR description
first).\r\n\r\nRelated:
https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/192050\r\n\r\n## Overview of
changes\r\n\r\nThere are essentially three types of breadcrumbs -
serverless (which is\r\nproject style), stateful project style (set
through spaces settings),\r\nand classic style (the old breadcrumbs
we've seen for years). Whilst\r\nserverless and stateful project style
both use the project based style\r\nthe navigation trees are slightly
different, so the breadcrumbs results\r\nare not identical [when they
derive the
\"nav\r\ncrumbs\"](9577aa980d/packages/core/chrome/core-chrome-browser-internal/src/project_navigation/breadcrumbs.tsx (L55)).\r\n\r\nHere
\"project style\" will refer to serverless and stateful
project\r\nstyle.\r\n\r\nIn these changes I've, for the most part, tried
to refactor things so\r\nObservability solutions route their breadcrumbs
through the\r\nobservability-shared `useBreadcrumbs` hook, this way the
logic around\r\nproject style, adding an Observability crumb in classic
etc is\r\nconsolidated in one place.\r\n\r\n[For several solutions
`absolute` breadcrumbs are
being\r\nused](9577aa980d/packages/core/chrome/core-chrome-browser-internal/src/project_navigation/breadcrumbs.tsx (L46)),\r\nand
this means we'll roughly have the same breadcrumbs across the
3\r\nexperiences (bar Observability being prepended). Teams may want
to\r\nrefine this going forward to pass curated breadcrumbs that take
into\r\naccount the navigation derived \"nav crumbs\" (again, bearing in
mind the\r\ntrees from serverless and project based chrome do differ),
and not use\r\nabsolute mode. APM is an example of this at the moment.
Right now this\r\nis an 8.16 bug though, so this aims to make things
acceptable, but not\r\nnecessarily perfect.\r\n\r\n### APM\r\n\r\n-
Project style chrome crumbs have been modelled off the
serverless\r\nones. The navigation trees here are the same so this
should be fine.\r\n\r\n### Infra\r\n\r\n- The `infra` `useBreadcrumbs`
hook has been removed, it was only being\r\nused by logs. Logs now goes
via the Observability shared hook using\r\n`classicOnly`.\r\n\r\n-
Metrics (`useMetricsBreadcrumbs` hook) has been slightly amended
to\r\nroute more of it's logic through the shared hook.\r\n\r\n### Logs
explorer\r\n\r\n- Wasn't setting any nested breadcrumbs at the moment so
the logic has\r\nbeen simplified to just set some classic crumbs, and
defer the rest to\r\nthe nav crumbs via the shared hook.\r\n\r\n###
Synthetics \r\n\r\n- Removed custom logic around prepending
Observability, adding link\r\nhandlers etc in favour of the shared
hook.\r\n\r\n\r\n### Alerts / rules / SLOs etc\r\n\r\n- Simple
breadcrumb needs so these are mostly setting `classicOnly`
and\r\ndeferring to the nav crumbs in project style.\r\n\r\nSeveral
solutions have had their usage of the shared hook updated to\r\npass in
the `serverless` plugin. This was missing before, so calls
to\r\n`serverless.setBreadcrumbs` weren't explicitly
happening.\r\n\r\n## Testing \r\n\r\n- Add the following to your
`kibana.dev.yml`:\r\n\r\n```yml\r\nxpack.cloud.id:
\"ftr_fake_cloud_id:aGVsbG8uY29tOjQ0MyRFUzEyM2FiYyRrYm4xMjNhYmM=\"\r\nxpack.cloud.base_url:
\"https://cloud.elastic.co\"\r\n```\r\n\r\n- For testing stateful
project style chrome you'll need to go to Stack\r\nManagement > Spaces
and change the solution view:\r\n\r\n![Screenshot 2024-10-21 at 12

Set the above to Classic to test classic breadcrumbs.\r\n\r\n- As a
reviewer please check your solution against the 3 modes.\r\n\r\n##
Comparison\r\n\r\nBefore these changes we'd see something like the

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
