Summary
Related implementation issue: #34990
As we introduce the option to configure services (agents) from Kibana UI through the apm-server in order to allow for central configuration, we're introducing a Settings page in the APM UI that will contain the 1. configuration creation and 2. list of active configurations.
Design
➡️Marvel prototype
Settings page
The Settings page will consist of a simplified APM header controls. No date picker, search bar or environment selector.
Beta flag
For the release we will show a callout explaining that this is a beta feature along with a link to the documentation with supported agents.
Create configuration flow
The flow is meant to allow for a quick and seamless flow in order to setup a configuration for a single service by either all or specific service environments (present at the time of creation).
No configurations
As an initial empty state, we will show a large empty state prompt that leads the user to create a configuration first.
Create configuration flyout
The flyout contains all the options needed to create a configuration that enables sample rate configuration, which will be first and only variable available at the first release. We will add more options later on as we add support.
The configuration cannot be created without all inputs being filled and validated.
Show toast to confirm successful creation of configuration
Manage created configurations
Once configurations are created, the user needs an overview of active configurations for each service (agent) and environments.
List of configurations
We will display the configurations in a table with the service name, environment, sample rate and last updated timestamp. There's also an option to edit the configuration which invokes the edit configuration flyout.
Edit (and delete) configuration flyout
Beyond displaying all the configuration parameters in the same flyout as the create configuration flyout, there will be an additional section that allows the user to delete the configuration.
