Add Kibana Reporting diagnostics

[tsullivan]

Reporting has a self-service diagnostic tool in Stack Management > Reporting.

From the docs:

[In the] the Report Listing page, and click Run reporting diagnostics. This will open up a diagnostic tool that checks various parts of the Kibana deployment and come up with any relevant recommendations

We should have this Reporting Diagnostic get pulled as part of the general Kibana diagnostic. It would help speed up discovery and timelines for the Support team.

Replaces: elastic/kibana#151033

[tsullivan]

The diagnostic tool is under Stack Management > Alerts and Insights > Reporting > Run reporting diagnostics.

The client request to the Reporting Diagnostic API ("Check browser" functionality):

curl 'http://localhost:5601/api/reporting/diagnose/browser' \
  -X 'POST' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'kbn-version: 8.8.2' \'

@tsullivan quick mentioning I believe historically this repo attempted to avoid POST requests ( right, @pickypg ?); is there a way to poll this endpoint as GET?

[pickypg]

Correct, we don't support any POST endpoints.

[tsullivan]

I believe this endpoint doesn't need to be a POST. I have filed elastic/kibana#171698 to have the endpoint changed to GET.

[tsullivan]

@pickypg the endpoint has been changed to GET, for 8.16.0+.

What would our next steps be on this issue?

It seems like the only thing necessary to make the request work is to call it with the kbn-version specified?

It seems like the only thing necessary to make the request work is to call it with the kbn-version specified?

You could add that, if it is consistent with other calls from the diagnostic tool However, I was able to get the response with that header and without it from an 8.16.0-SNAPSHOT deployment running in Docker using this command

Both of these work:

# with the header
curl 'https://localhost:15601/internal/reporting/diagnose/browser' \
  -k -u elastic:changeme \
  -H 'kbn-version: 8.16.0-SNAPSHOT'

# without the header
curl 'https://localhost:15601/internal/reporting/diagnose/browser' \
  -k -u elastic:changeme

Response:
