    Description

      Description of problem:

      Users often complain about this error which is not well understood. We regularly get questions about it. Despite it is documented, it still creates some friction. We should add some help in-app about it.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Create a cluster admin user, ie. having the cluster-admin role, but not in cluster-admin group
      2. Create many namespaces (e.g. 50?)
      3. Log-in with that user and check netobserv
      

      Actual results:

      Get "Input size too long" error without much more info. Although being documented here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/openshift_container_platform/4.13/html/network_observability/installing-network-observability-operators#network-observability-lokistack-create_network_observability , it seems like the confusion persists (often people assume users having cluster-admin role are in cluster-admin group, which is wrong/not automatic)

      Expected results:

      Add some hints in-app to better help users understand the problem.
