Hi,

Can anyone please tell me what are the best practices to monitor ELK cluster on AWS.  
For example, I am monitoring with Cloudwatch and sometimes the CPUUtilization goes to 93% where JVMMemoryPressure 75%.  
Is it ok?  
Please advice.

Thanks.

Hi irumman,

The Elastic Cloud channel is specific for our [Elastic hosted service](https://www.elastic.co/cloud) product.

I think for this question, the elasticsearch channel would be a better place.

Thanks,  
Xu
