Stack Management changes LGTM - one-line change to ingest node pipelines locator test.

[kertal]

DataDiscovery team owned code LGTM, just mocks and tests were modified. So I didn't test locally. Would just suggest to add a bit more context to this PR's description.

[smith]

APM changes look good.

[stratoula]

Kibana vis editors code changes LGTM! It is just a change in a test file so I just did a code review :)

why do we need generic here ? seems we know deps.shortUrls needs to be there and we also know all deps for LocatorClient ? also having D being unknown by default is a bit weird and not fully type safe.

It is generic because Short URL service has different dependencies on the server vs on the browser.

also having D being unknown by default is a bit weird and not fully type safe.

Why do you think it is weird and not safe?

Public APIs missing exports

Total count of every type that is part of your API that should be exported but is not. This will cause broken links in the API documentation system. Target amount is 0. Run node scripts/build_api_docs --plugin [yourplugin] --stats exports for more detailed information.

Saved Objects .kibana field count

Every field in each saved object type adds overhead to Elasticsearch. Kibana needs to keep the total field count below Elasticsearch's default limit of 1000 fields. Only specify field mappings for the fields you wish to search on or query. See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/development-plugin-saved-objects.html#_mappings
