Problem Description

When a transform fails, it goes to a FAILED state. The persistent task remains and the most recent error messages are available via _health. This helps with troubleshooting..

However, in the UI, we do not show any indication of when the failure happened. There are no messages which indicate when the failure happened. There are no timestamps on the health page.

Failures can often be due to cluster instability which cause search failures. This makes investigations more challenging as it could have been 1 hour, or 30 days ago.

Is the transform able to indicate a date for its failure... ?
Is this already in the API response somewhere, and it's just missing from the UI?

Steps to Reproduce

I think you can make a transform fail as follows, but tbc:

• Create a basic transform, configure to run continuously
• Delete/close the source index
