Description

### Integration Name: Kubernetes OpenTelemetry Assets [kubernetes_otel]

### Integration Version: 1.4.0

### Agent Version: v9.2.5

### Elasticsearch Version: v9.2.5

### OS Version and Architecture: v9.2.5

**Summary**
OpenTelemetry default dashboards fail to render *Workload Overview* visualizations (Pods, Deployments, DaemonSets, StatefulSets, ReplicaSets) when used with cross-cluster search (CCS).

**Environment**

* Elastic Stack: 9.2.5
* Deployment: Elastic CLoud
* Integration: Kubernetes OpenTelemetry Assets
* Dashboard: [OTEL][Metrics Kubernetes] Cluster Overview

**Issue**
In CCS setups, several visualizations (notably Workload Pie charts) return errors (see attached screenshot). The same dashboards work correctly when used within a single cluster.

This appears to be caused by ad hoc data views generated by the dashboards using the index pattern `metrics-*otel*`. These temporary data views do not resolve correctly in CCS (missing `:metrics-*otel*
**Impact**
Since ≥ 9.2.0, Kubernetes OTLP metrics are not fully available in the Observability Infrastructure UI, increasing reliance on these dashboards. As a result, this issue significantly impacts usability in KIbana environments.

**Expected**
Dashboards and ad hoc data views should also support remote cluster index patterns when dashboards are running in Cross Cluster Search. (for example it should also cover remote_cluster:metrics-*otel*)

**Actual**
Visualizations fail due to incorrect index patterns (`metrics-*otel*`) in temporary data views.
Same issue also exist by logs which is using for Cluster Events visualiosations.

**Attachments**

* Screenshot showing visualization errors in Workload Overview dashboard

### What did you do?

I tried customizing the dashboards, but after updating the integration or the cluster, the changes get overwritten and the incorrect version is imported again.
