This commit clarifies that Logstash monitoring metrics should not be
routed through master-only nodes, and should instead prefer coordinating
nodes.
Fixes#11194
Fixes formatting in a table cell in `logstash-monitoring-overview.html`.
A `+` which was required by AsciiDoc was leaking into the output when
the doc is built with Asciidoctor.
In the "methods" sections of the how to develop a plugin docs
Asciidoctor as incorrectly passing backticks into the output when it
should have marked the words surrounded by backticks as code. I'm not
100% sure why it did that. The fix is to force macro evaluation
immediately on attribute assignment.
Users following our documentation are frustrated to discover that they get 403 errors from Logstash, even when following the instructions to the letter. The problem is that the `create` privilege is missing. With this in place, it works as designed.
These changes may need to be back ported to previous branches, too.
Fixes#11013
