[Request]: Universal Profiling within Hosts

[roshan-elastic]

Description

What?

We will be integrating Universal Profiling into the Hosts views

When?

8.12 (TBC whether this will be turned on/off by default - it can be controlled by a feature flag)

Why?

Users who are investigating high CPU usage on a host want to know what is consuming this CPU. Profiling helps users identify the exact usage...right down to the single line of application code.

This will help users:

(a) Resolve utilisation issues with their hosts quicker by identifying the root cause of the resource usage
(b) Help users optimise their application code to be more performant and reduce their overall infrastructure costs

Note : Wondering where we should talk about this in the docs? E.g. do we need to update the host docs?

@iogbole FYI I'm seeing whether the docs team needs to update the Host documentation to explain this within the context of hosts

@roshan-elastic is this going live in 8.12 without a feature flag?

[roshan-elastic]

Hey @bmorelli25 - there will be a feature flag so users can turn it off but it will be on by default.

@mykolaharmash - Would you mind confirming your current understanding? Just want to check I'm right about this (if I'm wrong, we can pick up separately).

You're correct @roshan-elastic 💯
