[Monitoring] Some progress on making alerts better in the UI #81569

Relates to #80397

This PR does a few things to improve how we surface alerts in the Stack Monitoring UI.

We currently do not handle a bunch of alerts firing at the same time well. Per @ravikesarwani's suggestion and @igoristic's suggestion, we should group this better and offer the user a way to change between the grouping.

In addition, alerts presence on the individual node/instance listing pages can be improved as well, per a suggestion.

We don't need a key here since since it's not iterated (at its nested scope).

Sure, I can try to remove it. I originally added it because I saw strange behavior when toggling between the modes and React refusing to render any changes.

I ended up adding this back in because I saw the same behavior. I'd be happy to solve the issue another way if you have ideas.

@chrisronline Looking good 👍 Thank you for getting the changes in so quickly!

A couple more things:

  1. If there are multiple alert types on the node’s detail page and you disabling one of them (via the call out panel), it switches and expands the next alert type below it (might take a few seconds) with the same disabled state (even though it’s not disabled):

    This is after I disabled the the CPU Usage alert above it

  1. There's an empty bar if there are no alerts on the node’s detail page:

  1. The group by toggle switch never changes state (visually):

I think we should "Group by alert type" by default, and the switch should always be labeled "Group by node" which could be in either on or off state


  1. Pressing "Group by node" on the Kibana instances panel does not show the title/label any more:

  1. On the ES nodes listing page, "by type" shows the count for all the nodes (for that type) instead of for that specific node:

This seems to be how the EuiAccordion component works. I'd suggest not attempting to fix it for this PR, but we can open an issue in EUI for this if we feel strongly.

There's an empty bar if there are no alerts on the node’s detail page:

Nice find!

The group by toggle switch never changes state (visually):

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. It seems to work fine for me.

I think we should "Group by alert type" by default, and the switch should always be labeled "Group by node" which could be in either on or off state

I feel like the off state isn't obvious to users. I like the idea of labeling each state explicitly. Perhaps we can change the UI toggle - it doesn't have to be a EuiSwitch if we feel that's confusing

Pressing "Group by node" on the Kibana instances panel does not show the title/label any more:

Yup, i'll fix this up.

On the ES nodes listing page, "by type" shows the count for all the nodes (for that type) instead of for that specific node:

Fixed up too
