I have just installed ECK on our on prem Kubernetes cluster. Currently with Elastic stack consisting of Elasticsearch and Enterprise Search (both v7.10.0). My question is what would be the preferred way of monitoring this installation? We have already monitoring of the Kubernetes pods, but I'm more concerned about the healthiness of the Elastic stack itself and would like to get alerts if something bad is going on. ---

[Monitoring](https://www.elastic.co/what-is/elasticsearch-monitoring) would be your best option. ---
