Hey HN - Pulse (https://pulse.support) is a platform that’s making it easy for teams to maintain the health of their OpenSearch and Elasticsearch clusters.

Key features (this is not just 'another monitoring tool'): * Proactive monitoring to detect cluster issues before they impact cost and performance * Actionable recommendations for resolving potential issues that are detected * Cluster health assessments - clear daily status reports for the stability, performance, security, and resiliency of your clusters * Dashboards designed for Opensearch and Elasticsearch with pre-built views for nodes and indices, shard heat maps and k-NN vector search * 24/7 expert (human) support to help with more nuanced, complex issues that come up

Check it out and try it - feedback and questions welcome!

Interesting, however, we can't expose our cluster publicly (it's within a Google Cloud VPC). TBH, the lack of tools that support our config in general is frustrating. How would Pulse work in an environment like this?

    Great question! we created Pulse with exactly this in mind - supporting Elasticsearch (and OpenSearch) running anywhere. You don't need the cluster to be exposed publicly. Integrating with Pulse is just about installing a lightweight and secure agent, which transmits metrics (only metrics, never data) to our service.

I've seen some similar ES solutions, but I haven't seen one like this for opensearch. What's your level of support for opensearch?

  • synhershko 10 months ago

    We fully support both Elasticsearch and OpenSearch, each with their own specifics. For OpenSearch we support Ultrawarm / searchable snapshots, kNN vector search, and so on.

Looks cool. I was looking into a similar solution recently and had a conversation with someone on this. Will check it out.

Looks cool but we’re currently using Datadog to monitor our Elasticsearch cluster, how is this different/better?

  • synhershko 10 months ago

    It's absolutely complimentry. Pulse is an official Datadog partner and has an integration to Datadog. Pulse will send Datadog events and alerts it generates, enriching the Datadog experience.

Whats the largest cluster you support? I’ve been looking for something thats effective at scale.

Will this work with older Elasticsearch versions too? (I'm running ES 2.4)

  • synhershko 10 months ago

    Hi! I'm the founder of Pulse. This is a great question! although it's a very old version, we do see it in the wild every so often and indeed, Pulse supports 2.x as well.
