Kibana: OSS build showing X-Pack info?

78963 added the endpoint security data example flyout to show the telemetry collected for the endpoint security.

AFAIK, that is not an OSS feature. Is it?

IMHO, we should not show this if the endpoint security plugin is disabled (or it doesn't exist as in OSS).

fyi @pjhampton && @stevewritescode?

Thanks for the ping @michaelolo24 / @afharo - Elastic Security is indeed considered a solution which might not always be available - eg, Non-Elastic ES / Kibana Vendors.
@cosiomoises @paulewing @joe-desimone Do you guys have thoughts here?

Kibana Devs - Can you let me know:

  • If usage data is still collected in OSS versions of the stack?
  • Does Kibana know at runtime what plugins are enabled?

@pjhampton

If usage data is still collected in OSS versions of the stack?

Yes we do collect and send telemetry data under OSS versions.

Does Kibana know at runtime what plugins are enabled?

Yes. Platform core provides a way to check enabled plugins. If i recall correctly you can call it in plugin start like this: coreStart.getKibanaFeatures(). Platform team has all their apis documented so it should be easy to find.

Ok, thanks for the info, @Bamieh. I will send a patch for this soon.

Pinging @elastic/kibana-security (Team:Security Solution)

Dropping an update. @Bamieh is coding something up which we will bridge back to this - turned out it isn't as simple as we hoped as the OSS telemetry plugin needs to know if the security solution is enabled. I'm syncing up with him tomorrow.
