[Dashboard][Filters] Warning filters in non default index pattern dashboard

[majagrubic]

Kibana version:
7.9 BC2

Can't reproduce in master.

Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.):
Cloud and docker OSS

Describe the bug:

Non default index pattern dashboard shows filters in "warning" state, when navigated to it without full page reload.

Narrowed down to this steps:

1. Go to dashboard with non default index pattern
2. Add any filter and pin it
3. go away from a dashboard, e.g. listing page
4. go back

Current behaviour : filter is in warning state and not applied

Expected behaviour: filter shouldn't be in warning state and should be applied

Additional context:

• For some reason filter bar thinks that current index pattern is Kibana's default one, but not the one from dashboard.
• This happens not only to pinned filtes, but also to local filters saved with dashboard. Or local filter coming from URL
• New warning state was added it Add error if filter index pattern is missing #66979
• Can't reproduce in master, In master first "warning" state is shown, but then it changes to active filter.

@majagrubic Are you sure this is related to sharing? I can't reproduce this via your description, but I noticed the filter pill in your example is a pinned one - if there is no visualization associated with the index pattern of the filter pill in the dashboard, it shows the same "warning" filter pill for me like this:

• Create a filter based on some index pattern somewhere
• Pin it
• Go to dashboard where no visualization is related to the index pattern
• Filter is shown as Warning

[flash1293]

I also get into this state like this:

• Save a dashboard (dashboard A) with a local filter pill using the index pattern associated with visualizations on the dashboard
• Go to another dashboard using exclusively another index pattern
• Create a filter pill and pin it
• Go back to dashboard A
• The pinned filter pill works, but the local one (using the "right" index pattern used in visualizations as well) is broken

Almost as if the filter bar is only ever working with a single index pattern at a time and all filter pills using other index patterns break.

@Dosant do you have an idea here? Seems at least partially filter bar related.

@flash1293, there was this change #66979

Almost as if the filter bar is only ever working with a single index pattern at a time and all filter pills using other index patterns break.

This doesn't sound right to me...

[flash1293]

@Dosant Thanks for that, wasn't aware the warning is shown if the filter is not applicable. Still, the second example I posted shouldn't happen, right?

[Dosant]

@flash1293,

Still, the second example I posted shouldn't happen, right?

Right, doesn't sound right to me.
I'll also do some testing on this

The pinned filter pill works, but the local one (using the "right" index pattern used in visualizations as well) is broken

By local you mean unpinned filter on a dashboard? Or inside visualization? Or inside embeddable panel?

[flash1293]

@Dosant Unpinned filter on dashboard, sorry.

A better description - it only seems to happen on second load:

• Install flight and logs data
• Go to logs dashboard
• Add filter geo.src: IN
• Save logs dashboard
• Go to dashboard listing
• Go to flight dashboard
• Add filter FlightDelay: true
• Pin FlightDelay filter
• Go to dashboard listing
• Go to logs dashboard
• Both the FlightDelay and the geo.src filter pill are shown in warning state, geo.src switches to regular display after a split-second
• Go back
• Go forward
• Both the FlightDelay and the geo.src filter pill are shown in warning state, geo.src does not switch to regular

Expected:

• Only FlightDelay is shown in warning state

Couldn't reproduce on master, reloading the page fixes the problem, but navigating away from the dashboard and back to it breaks it again.

Even stranger: This only happens on the logs dashboard, on eCommerce it always works fine. No idea what the difference is

[Dosant]

@flash1293,
I think it doesn't happen for you on eCommerce, because that is default index pattern for you. Is this the case?

For some reason filter bar thinks that current index pattern is Kibana's default one, but not the one from dashboard.

@Dosant I wiped that instance already, but it's very likely

[lizozom]

@Dosant on 7.9 latest branch, I get the same behavior of seeing the warning, but it immediately switches to a normal state.

[flash1293]

@lizozom Try going back to the listing page and then access the same dashboard again. Sometimes I had the same thing of the Warning label just flickering, but the second time it always stayed for me.

Created a follow up issue to address initial flickering: #73286
