[Observability Overview] Page Requirements for Synthetics

[paulb-elastic]

With Synthetics being the default UI from 8.9 (unless legacy Heartbeat is still being used), we need a better solution for the Observability Overview page.

Overview currently shows a section for Uptime monitors:

However, in our new/preferred state, there will be no Uptime monitors, however we still show this:

We need to remove the Uptime section (using the same rules as we no longer promote this.

We should include Synthetics on the Overview page. If there is no Synthetics data, then it should include a panel describing what it is, with a button to set up a monitor, for example:

If there is Synthetics data already, then we should include the errors overview chart:

ACs:

• Remove the Uptime panel from the Observability Overview page
  • Regardless of whether or not Uptime is being shown (i.e. never show the Uptime panel on the Obs Overview page)
• Always show a panel for Synthetics
  • If there is no Synthetics data, then show the call to action panel, with a link through to Synthetics (/app/synthetics), which will trigger the onboarding flow to set up a new monitor
  • If there is Synthetics data, then the 6 hour errors chart (the same as the one on the Synthetics Overview page)

Updated the description to reflect never showing Uptime anymore, and what chart to include for Synthetics

@jasonrhodes @paulb-elastic @drewpost what's the priority of this issue? should this be moved to backlog?

@shahzad31 thanks, yes, in fact I'm closing it for now since I think the overview page will be replaced at some point.
