Stability

Ensure your feature will work under all possible Kibana scenarios.

Environmental configuration scenarios

  • Cloud

  • Multiple Kibana instances

    • Pointing to the same index
    • Pointing to different indexes

      • Should make sure that the Kibana index is not hardcoded anywhere.
      • Should not be storing a bunch of stuff in Kibana memory.
      • Should emulate a high availability deployment.
      • Anticipating different timing related issues due to shared resource access.
      • We need to make sure security is set up in a specific way for non-standard Kibana indices. (create their own custom roles)
  • Kibana running behind a reverse proxy or load balancer, without sticky sessions. (we have had many discuss/SDH tickets around this)
  • If a proxy/loadbalancer is running between ES and Kibana

Kibana.yml settings

  • Using a custom Kibana index alias
  • When optional dependencies are disabled

    • Ensure all your required dependencies are listed in kibana.json dependency list!

Test coverage

  • Does the feature have sufficient unit test coverage? (does it handle storeinSessions?)
  • Does the feature have sufficient Functional UI test coverage?
  • Does the feature have sufficient Rest API coverage test coverage?
  • Does the feature have sufficient Integration test coverage?

Browser coverage

Refer to the list of browsers and OS Kibana supports https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix

Does the feature work efficiently on the list of supported browsers?

Upgrade Scenarios - Migration scenarios-

Does the feature affect old indices, saved objects ? - Has the feature been tested with Kibana aliases - Read/Write privileges of the indices before and after the upgrade?
