[OpenSearch Playground] Build a welcome dashboard for Playground site

[Flyingliuhub]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

There is no main custom dashboard to demonstrate OpenSearch Dashboards features, and we have multi-environment for playground site, like as preview.playground, reinvent.playground, observability.playground..etc. We need to build a custom dashboard page(Plugin) via deployment. it will allow each playground env have intro information.

What solution would you like?

We need to build a welcome dashboard page (plugin) to demonstrate OpenSearch Dashboards features and environment intro. It includes that our plugin and dashboards main features.

What alternatives have you considered?

None

Do you have any additional context?

We would like the build a welcome dashboard page(plugin), and it contains a custom dashboard which provide intro information for the environment and features.

What's user experience looks like?

What kind of stuff do we expected to demonstrate for machine learning and anomaly detection

do we need to generate test data? how? who is going to generate that? could test data be refresh?

@seraphjiang Added detail in the additional context above.

[seraphjiang]

• We would like implement function tests to generate/configure sample data with corresponding time range

why do we use functional test to generate example data. we should make a data generator utility and setup job schedule to run it regular per need.

@Flyingliuhub @huyaboo what do you think?

[Flyingliuhub]

Yes. we can make a data generator utility, another option is that AD team's sample data already stored in the server side, we need to unzip the data and pre-configured the data via some cypress tests, like as create/configure detectors. We can implement playground site cypress tests, which calling API via admin access and pre-configure the sample.

The main workflow will be that cypress test was scheduled daily/weekly

• Check if the sample data existing, if existing, delete it first.
• Install the sample data
• Run configuration tests, it will create detector or monitor

@seraphjiang @huyaboo , any comments ?

[huyaboo]

Yes @Flyingliuhub that is what we covered on Tuesday. I do have a question as to what would need to be configured and how data would be changed if we were to use a data generator utility.

I do have a question as to what would need to be configured and how data would be changed if we were to use a data generator utility.

There is no data generator utility right now. two options which I can think about:

• Implement data generator utility
  • it contains that generate data and configure feature, like as create detector, we can learn from their function tests. you should have their links of function tests.
• implement new cypress test spec to cover all the features

Implement data generator utility

@Flyingliuhub @huyaboo could we estimate what are effort to support?
