Kibana 9.3.1 Disabling message "New! Connect AutoOps to this self-managed cluster"

We would like to not present this message to our users. Is there a way this disable this?

You can hide Stack Management from the users by hiding it using Spaces:

  1. Go to Stack Management > Kibana > Spaces
  2. Open the relevant space
  3. Disable the management features you do not want visible in that space

Would that help? Do your users still need to see Stack Management?

Otherwise, you can hide all announcements from the Advanced Settings:

  • Global Settings if you want to apply it everywhere
  • or Space Settings if you want it only for a specific space

Like:

No in Advance Settings setting the Space Settings “Hide announcements” to false does not disable this message.

@val do you know why?

Its also displayed on this page

+1 for this question. Please @elastic all the popups and new feeds and publicity for beta and unwanted features are not really helpful and only distract and result in a lot of wasted time and questions from end users.

Just recently I tried configuring uiSettings.globalOverrides.hideAnnouncements and uiSettings.globalOverrides.hideAnnouncements for an Elastic ECE deployment, but adding anyone of these in Users and Settings results in a Kibana no longer starting (9.3.2)

I owe you a 1000 apologies (or beers) for the slow response here, totally my fault.

I went to the Kibana team and they shared that this popup shows up for self-managed (not air-gapped) clusters that don't already have AutoOps enabled, but that it isn't handled by the "Hide announcements" global setting.

I've created this tracking issue

But the hideAnnouncement makes my Kibana 9.3.2 unable to start @val

@willemdh

I would definitely investigate this so if you can share more (HAR and/or browser console logs, etc), that would probably help pinpoint the issue.

Tx @val

This is in ECE deployment Kibana Users and Settings. The setting is never applied an reverted automatically after clicking Save again. Not sure if a har would help here..

I was able to retrieve the error

Thank you that helps. This is unrelated to the issue, though, it's a different bug that will require its own investigation, I'll take it with the ECE team, but from the first look of it, it looks like these two settings where added recently to the allowlist for Kibana settings in ECH and might come soon to ECE (probably with the Kibana 9.4 stack pack)

Thanks for this info. A bit unfortunate though that the documentation shows the ECE icon already and no mention of what version. This made me loose quite a bit of time again.

Can you point me at the page you're talking about so we can fix that?

Also please read How to add xpack.encryptedSavedObjects.encryptionKey for Kibana deployments in ECE without breaking Fleet - #4 by willemdh

There the docs doesn't mention that encrypted saved objects is not supported.

Best regards,
