Description

Description

The documentation pages https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/tools/snapshot-and-restore/self-managed#snapshot-repo-prereqs and similar report that the prerequisite of using Kibana Snapshot and restore page is among others:

Index privilege: all on the monitor index

However, if you open the page you get the following error:

That states that you need the "monitor" privilege on at least one index.

We can amend the documentation to state:

Index privilege: monitor privilege on all the indices

Or maybe:

Index privilege: monitor privilege on the restored indices
