Improvement proposal

[piotrgradzinski]

I would like to propose several improvements to the plugin, that I would find very useful and I am able to help with their development if the ideas will be accepted.

Whole proposal comes from the lack of possibility to use some basic functions related to search service in Azure Portal when search service has any firewall rules enabled. I am talking about the overview screen. Such restrictions are often required and not being able to do things like indexer reset or to see the indexation errors is very frustrating. Also there is no alternative really for that other than writing some custom tools that use search management API - which is not blocking any requests if they are coming from allowed IPs.

Stats

Service stats

New element after "Service Details" where we can show the usage of: storage, indexes, indexers, data sources, number of replicas, partitions, search units and the number of documents. Some simple table (with web view maybe) or later on with nice charts.

Indexes stats

Summary of documents count and used storage per index.

Indexers stats

Summary of indexes, status of last indexer execution, last indexer execution, docs succeeded, number of errors/warnings.

Indexer stats

For the particular indexer I would like to add the ability to be able to browse last indexer execution with details related to each execution like duration, docs succeeded, errors/warnings.

What do you think? Would I have a green light from you guys to start implementing those elements?

Hi @piotrgradzinski - thank you for this feedback and apologies for the slow reply! I'd definitely be open to all the functionality you mentioned above. I think they'd be a valuable addition to the extension and would help round out the functionality.

By the way, I'm planning to re-publish the extension later this week with the functionality you added in your PR and a few other tweaks. Thanks again for doing that!
