Hi,

I have a system with about 50k documents indexed. It's a single data  
master node (4gb heap I believe) w/ 2 client nodes connected. Aside from  
redundancy issues, we noticed that when there were 45 concurrent users,  
response times on our queries were taking upwards of 6s. With user load at  
25 concurrent users, we're seeing better response times, under a second.

Now, I know we have some optimization to do on our part, but is there  
anything I can do to look to see why queries may be taking so long in  
elasticsearch? There's a slow query log IIRC, can we look at that to  
determine these things?

Thanks!

John

You should check out monitoring tools like Marvel, kopf or elastichq and  
the things it reports.
