This PR adds a new content package (otel_android_dashboards) to visualize telemetry data from Android applications instrumented with OpenTelemetry.

The package includes two Kibana dashboards:

  • [Android OTel] Application Overview — provides a high-level view of application health including sessions, device installations, span performance, crashes, and an event timeline.
  • [Android OTel] Exception Details — a drilldown dashboard for inspecting individual crash groups with stacktraces, affected sessions, and device/OS breakdowns.

The dashboards query an Android app's data, filtering on os.name: "Android". They are designed to work with the Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry Android (EDOT Android) but are compatible with any OpenTelemetry-instrumented Android app that sends the expected fields.

Checklist

  • I have reviewed tips for building integrations and this pull request is aligned with them.
  • I have verified that all data streams collect metrics or logs.
  • I have added an entry to my package's changelog.yml file.
  • I have verified that Kibana version constraints are current according to guidelines.
  • I have verified that any added dashboard complies with Kibana's Dashboard good practices

Author's Checklist

  • Screenshots are present and dashboards display data correctly
  • All referenced images exist in img/

How to test this PR locally

  • Use elastic-package build && elastic-package install to install this content package in your Kibana deployment
  • Send telemetry from an Android app instrumented with EDOT Android (or any OTel SDK) to your Elastic Stack
  • Go to Dashboards, search for Android OTel, and verify the dashboards display data

Does the data arrive in some specific dataseream ? Then we can use discovery.dataset for aut installing the Content Pack

Unfortunately, it's not a specific datastream but "generic.otel" instead (similar to JS RUM) 😞 - so I didn't add the auto-installing functionality based on this comment on the JS RUM dashboards on it.

If it's about removing the template function, I did so for this new content package, but not for the RUM one. It's a small change, though, so I could apply it to this PR if needed.

I'm sorry, I totally missed that 🤦 . Can you please remove that in this PR if it's not too much trouble?
