We have a very few configs schemas with arrays of objects. Such as:
Currently we are reporting
[redacted]
if thearrayOf<object>
config is set by the user.We opted in for this behavior as it is unclear how we'd be indexing/searching these arrays of objects.
Kibana and ES do not make it easy to aggregate and visualize arrays of objects.
To improve the current status for these configs we have a few options:
Keep reporting as
[redacted]
. Advise teams to manually expose these configs in their collectors rather than relying on the automatic kibana_config_usage collector if they need extra intel.report each property in the config as an array of keys
For options 2-4 we need to check how these data shapes would affect aggregations and visualizations.
