[ILM] Add links to "Snapshot and Restore" from ILM "wait for snapshot policy"

[yuliacech]

Summary

This PR adds links to the callout beyond "wait for snapshot policy" combobox in delete phase of an index lifecycle policy. The links are added to the callout when there are no snapshot policy yet created or when the user types in a value that doesn't match any existing snapshot policies. The links open in a new tab and redirect to the snapshot policy creation wizard. Both callouts are also changed to "normal" size to make them consistent with other callouts on the page.

No policies

Value doesn't match any policies

Release Note

We added links to "wait for snapshot policy" combobox that navigate to the snapshot policy creation wizard, when there no policies created yet or the value doesn't match any existing policies.

Thanks for adding this enhancement @yuliacech! Tested locally and works as expected.

I think there is room to make this an even better experience, but I don’t think it’s blocking. I’ll leave it up to you if you’d like to address it or not.

In CCR, if a user tries to create a follower index and doesn’t have a remote cluster configured, they are prompted as follows:

If they go to create a new remote cluster and save, they are then redirected back to CCR to finish creating the follower index.

I think it would be cool if we could do the same thing in ILM. The current implementation feels a little disjointed in that I have to click the link to create a policy, go to the new tab, create the policy, go back to the ILM tab, then refresh the page to see my new policy populated in the dropdown.

Another nice to have - if a user adds a policy name that doesn’t exist yet, when they hit “create a new policy”, the “Add policy” page would be populated with the selected name already.

Hi @alisonelizabeth ,

thank you so much for your review! I agree that creation of a new policy needs a better user flow. I added this as a task to my ILM-improvement meta issue and will address in a subsequent PR. CCR is a great example that I will use as a guide.
