Improve overall perceived performance

[gdiazlo]

Project's description

Our users' feedback tells us the perceived performance of the applications is too slow. Through this issue, we want to centralize all the works we want to do to improve the perceived performance.

We're going to analyze the application behavior in a canonical environment, built based on the previous research by the @wazuh/qa in https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-qa/issues/2766 and in our recommended settings documentation.

We need to prioritize our most commonly used dashboards and widgets first. All the pages, widgets, etc. reviewer must appear on this issue. Please update it and link the correspondent issues on where this is being worked on.

• Wazuh health check
• Wazuh -> Modules -> Security Events -> Dashboard ...

Status review - 08 Aug 2022

• #3812 @asteriscos is migrating the generation of reports to the backend (includes the queries to Elastic). Might need additional changes, if so, the issue will be moved to blocked until these changes are completed.
• #4366 @Mayons95 and @mauceballos. Great progress so far, but the sub-issues (PRs) need extended information, describing what was included, why and how that helps us in this project. In particular, I'd like to see the results of these scripts, the results, either as PDF or images, so anyone visiting this project can quickly see its utility. See https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-kibana-app/pull/4371#pullrequestreview-1060248368
• [New issue] Revisit the required fields of wazuh-monitoring, and optimize the cron job accordingly #4388

Status review - 29 Aug 2022

We need a test environment with heavy load to measure the impact of the changes made. As a result, we'll prioritize the creating of this environment.

After that, we will measure the impact of #3812, and then start with #3626.

I'm closing this, we will open a new effort in the future, tied to other app refactors.
