We recently upgraded our Elastic search server. We found that we have 6 /second on the HTTP Connection Rate from Elastic HQ Keys: stats.http.total\_opened / stats.jvm.uptime\_in\_mills \* 1000 Value: 1190096 / 195744563 \* 1000 = 6.079841921330913 Not much information can be found on the internet... Is there any way I can improve it? Thanks, Eric ---

But what is the performance issue? Are you getting low QPS? Generally speaking, low http connections per second could be simply a sign that clients are caching connections, which is a good thing. ---
