Indeed, we should disable telemetry for kibana-next, I'll followup with a patch

@Rxy telemetry is disabled now and indeed I can't see the requests anymore, please confirm and reopen if needed, thank you!

Can we set a hard CSP on this domain at the web server level so that in general our report will be "oh no, there's a request attempt we didn't notice" (possibly with a "hm.. and feature X is partly not working as a result") - as opposed to "oh no, we're actually making requests we don't want."

+1 to this!

It's probably beyond the scope of this task, but I see the benefit of evaluating more restrictive CSPs for externally-facing tools.

Agreed, likely worth having a standard CSP policy for tools that are supposed to be self contained (in another task)
