Reporting feature does not work when setting stack.templates.enabled: false in Elasticsearch #201281

@tsullivan

Description

@tsullivan

Since we have begun leveraging Elasticsearch to create a data stream for Reporting, we have begun depending on Elasticsearch to also install the mapping template for the reporting data. See #176022 and elastic/elasticsearch#97765.

Elasticsearch has a setting called stack.templates.enabled. If disabled, the mapping templates for Reporting, and other features, will not be installed.

This issue is to track work for updating documentation:

  1. Update https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-management-settings.html#stack-templates-enabled to state that the stack.templates.enabled setting affects Reporting
  2. Update https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/secure-reporting.html with a new section at the end to state that Reporting depends on Elasticsearch to install the system template, and will not work if stack.templates.enabled: false is set in the Elasticsearch configuration.
