Timelion/hide timelion

[chrisdavies]

Timelion sheets will continue to work in visualize, but the application
will no longer appear in the app switcher by default. The
timelion.ui.enabled configuration in kibana.yml will toggle the app on.

LGTM - no concerns on my end, assuming the build comes back green.

Tested locally (Chrome OSX), and verified the app switcher icon is hidden by default, but everything else (including hitting the app landing page directly at /app/timelion) continues to function as normal. Icon displays as it used to when the setting is enabled in kibana.yml.

@chrisdavies thanks for jumping on this :)
Can we make sure that any existing Timelion sheets done in the Timelion application work properly after users enable Timelion application? I want to make sure we are not breaking anything

[cchaos]

So should the Timelion advanced settings still be visible by default? Like the rows/columns and tutorial stuff?

[chrisdavies]

Hm. @cchaos I only hopped on this because Court didn't have time to wrap it up. I honestly don't know anything about timelion. @AlonaNadler thoughts about @cchaos's question?

[AlonaNadler]

Would be nice to have if when Timelion is disabled the other Timelion related settings (tutorial, rows, and columns) are disabled as well, not the highest priority but will be nice to have

[timroes]

@AlonaNadler Could you please create a separate issue for this, since I am not sure if that would still go into 7.0, since it's a new feature (and concept, we don't disable settings like that yet anywhere).

[AlonaNadler]

@timroes I already opened an issue for that #30141
The reason it's important to be in 7.0 is that is breaking change, @epixa suggested that it is a relatively minor change. The main priority is to have a new setting that will hide Timelion application globally in Kibana, Timelion application should be hidden by default

[gchaps]

@chrisdavies Could you please add this change to the 7.0 Breaking Changes doc?

[chrisdavies]

@gchaps I'm not familiar with that doc. Where is it?

[gchaps]

@chrisdavies You'll find the doc at kibana/docs/migration/migrate_7_0.asciidoc
