Hi, is it me or is the Kibana Red status a bit too strict?

I think the dev tools at least should always be available. For instance when a cluster goes into red state Kibana puts itself in red state also and doesn't let you click on anything. So then we have to use other tools like curl or postman to send commands to our clusters.

It would be nice if DevTools and maybe discover are always available.

Hi,

Would you mind creating a feature request here? I think there is something in the works from the ops team - I will ask them once they are up and link your issue.
