Hi, I am using monstache for connecting elastic to mongodb. Here is my monstache command: `monstache -elasticsearch-url "http://localhost:9200" -mongo-url 'mongodb+srv://XXXX' monstache -direct-read-namespace portaldb.candidate -verbose -resume false -replay false -stats` And this is index.I have created it just to test system: ``` curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/portaldb.candidate" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "settings" : { "number_of_shards" : 90, "number_of_replicas" : 0, "refresh_interval" : "30s", "analysis": { "analyzer": { "my_analyzer": { "tokenizer": "my_tokenizer" } }, "tokenizer": { "my_tokenizer": { "type": "standard", "max_token_length": 10 } } } }, "mappings" : { "properties" : { "generalInfo.fullName" : { "type" : "text" }, "generalInfo.name" : {"type":"text"}, "generalInfo.surname" : {"type":"text"} } } ``` } ' Elastic uses **4g** of memory and **indices.memory.index\_buffer\_size is 30%.** I am running server on local machine which has **16gb ddr4 ram and i7 processor** on it. ---

How do you know it takes 2 minutes? ---

Either running this: ``` curl localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v ``` or checking docs on Kibana. ---

How do you know if it's Elasticsearch or the client you are using? ---

Ok but you are saying things are slow. You've mentioned you are sitting there waiting for the doc to show up, which isn't entirely scientific. How do you know if it's Elasticsearch or the client? What version of Elasticsearch are you using? Do you have Monitoring enabled? ---

Thanks for replies. I do not understand what do you mean by "elasticsearch or client". Elasticsearch version is 7.2 I have enabled monitoring now. ---

I am checking doc counts on index and also double check in discover tab in Kibana. It reads whole document not just the fields I set and it takes lots of time to read a single one. ---
