Introduce a setting controlling the activation of the logs index mode in logs@settings #109025

@salvatore-campagna salvatore-campagna commented May 24, 2024

Here we introduce a cluster.logsdb.enabled setting that controls activation of the new logs index mode in logs@settings. The setting default value is false and prevents usage of the new index mode by default in logs@settings. We also change hostname to host.name as the default field used for sorting (other than @timestamp) and include it in logs@mappings.

After addressing relevant issues in synthetic source including:

we will also add a feature flag controlling the default value for the cluster.logsdb.enabled setting to be
true for snapshot builds. This way the logs index mode will be the default for logs in deployments
using an Elasticsearch snapshot build.

This mechanism will allow us to enable the index mode using the feature flag or directly
via the setting, giving us options when it comes to overriding activation behaviour depending
on the Elasticsearch deployment environment and version.

Resolves #108762

Had to do this because the original map is immutable and I need access to node settings.

Maybe create two static immutable maps and return the right one based on the setting?

This should not really be required since the default is "true"

Right, but maybe this is disabled somewhere else in this test cluster setup? It defaults to true, so something must be setting it to false? What do you see when you debug StackPlugin? Is this plugin loaded btw?

If I debug the test I don't see it going into StackTemplateRegistry constructor where the setting is evaluated...so I am not sure that is the issue. I think something is missing to actually use the registry.

Once I have the existing test working I will add a test that enables and disables the setting too.

Notice that I added added this specific logs@mapping-logsdb.json to make sure a host.name field is created and no error is thrown if default sorting on host.name and @timestamp is used.

Why is this needed? We can't assume all data streams have it, logsdb must also work when it is not set.

this can be a final setting, since this setting isn't a dynamic setting

I only think we need to load different ComponentTemplate instances for logs mappings and settings? These will replace the non logsdb mappings and settings. No need to to load all component templates twice, the logsdb setting is non dynamic, so at node startup we can determine what needs to be loaded.

this.logsIndexModeTemplateEnabled = CLUSTER_LOGSDB_ENABLED.get(nodeSettings);

nodeSettings are only available when the construction of StackTemplateRegistry happens...is there a way to read settings from a static context?

Also replacing is not possible...the map in an immutable as I said in one of my previous comments...so no way to replace entries into the map.

Ah right, I see. The issue here is that the component templates map is loaded when the StackTemplateRegistry class is loaded. At that time we don't have access to node settings. If the map for component template was initialized in the constructor we can have access to it (adding a Settings parameter is supported).

Then let's leave this as is.

Do we really need an additional template? Why not use a template variable like we do for version for the index mode?

Having more templates means more templates to keep in sync / more confusion.
