Hi!

I am providing accessibility to search on ES for our customers.  
Some of them are creating inefficient queries, which uses wildcard at the start of a sentence or without any field specified.  
I would like to find this queries automatically.  
Is there a tool which receive query and indicate whether it need tuning ?

Love for some help,  
Eylon

There's nothing in terms of a tool that I have seen or am aware of.

You can definitely use the slow log to dig into this though - [Slow Log | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.15/index-modules-slowlog.html)
