is this feature part of basic license - [Autoscaling | Elasticsearch Reference [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/xpack-autoscaling.html) is yes then, was not able to find below settings ### Prerequisites[edit](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/edit/7.11/docs/reference/autoscaling/apis/get-autoscaling-capacity.asciidoc) - If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have `manage_autoscaling` cluster privileges. For more information, see [Security privileges](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-privileges.html). ---

As you are looking at the master documentation I do not think this feature has been released yet. Based on the initial note in the docs you linked to it does as far as I can see not look like a Basic license feature. ---

The documentation actually exists in 7.11 😉 > **[Autoscaling | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.11/xpack-autoscaling.html)** It's just said that: > Autoscaling is designed for indirect use by [Elasticsearch Service](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service/signup?baymax=docs-body&elektra=docs), [Elastic Cloud Enterprise](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current), and [Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current). Direct use is not supported. ---

Yes, we are using ECK on kubernetes and per this - [Autoscaling | Elasticsearch Reference [7.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.11/xpack-autoscaling.html) it says can be used with Elastic cloud on kubernetes ---

Autoscaling is not yet available on released versions of ECK. You can read the documentation for the unreleased `master` branch here: [Elasticsearch autoscaling | Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/master/k8s-autoscaling.html) I believe it will be an Enterprise licensed feature. ---

You can refer to ECK 1.5.0 which is now publicly available and introduces experimental support for [Autoscaling](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/1.5/k8s-autoscaling.html). It is an Enterprise licensed feature. ---
