Summary

  • Removes applications-ui-settings.md and redirects both legacy paths (solutions/observability/apps/ and solutions/observability/apm/) to the Observability group on the Kibana advanced settings page
  • Moves APM index settings context (data views, precedence over kibana.yml, Spaces-awareness) to control-access-to-apm-data.md
  • Preserves the APM Labs how-to in apm-agent-explorer.md with stack: removed 9.1 tagging for cumulative docs

Context

Part of the broader effort to establish the Kibana reference as the single source of truth for advanced settings (#3539, #4013).

All 11 observability:* settings previously on the solution page were already present and more accurately described in advanced-settings-space.yml in the Kibana repo. The solution page was stale: five settings it listed as active had been removed at stack 9.1.

A companion PR in the Kibana repo updates the kibanaSettings doc link in kbn-doc-links to point to the new location: elastic/kibana#285630

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Removes applications-ui-settings.md and redirects both legacy paths to
the Observability group on the Kibana advanced settings page. Moves the
APM index settings context (data views, precedence, Spaces-awareness) to
control-access-to-apm-data.md, and preserves the APM Labs how-to in
apm-agent-explorer.md with a removed 9.1 tag for cumulative docs.

Relates to: elastic#4013
