Summary

This chapter covered Elasticsearch installation, configuration, monitoring tools, and cluster requirements. Tools such as Elasticsearch-head, Bigdesk, and Marvel all lay the groundwork to monitor your cluster and analyze its performance. However, you still have to know what aspects to look for and how to find them. In the next chapter, we will examine Elasticsearch-head and Bigdesk further, and discuss important things to look for in these tools when monitoring an Elasticsearch cluster.
