kibana is not working, properly, it is very slow Is there any cache stored, which makes it slow? ---

If Kibana is slow it is generally due to Elasticsearch being slow. What is the specification of your cluster and hardware? How much data do you have? How many indices and shards? ---

How can i check my specification of cluster and hardware in aws elastic search? Can i check data i have using kibana? Can i check indices and shards using kibana? So please suggest ---

I do not use AWS Elasticsearch so am not sure how to check the specification of the cluster you are using. For the other questions I would usually refer to monitoring, but that is as far as I know not available on AWS Elasticsearch. You can however go into the dev console in Kibana and run the \_cat/indices and \_cluster/stats APIs. I would however recommend finding out which instance type you are using and the volume and type of storage you have. ---

I see nothing odd there. I think we need to know what instance types and storage this cluster is running on. ---

Check with whoever set up the cluster or AWS support. It would also be useful to see if there are any errors or warnings in the logs, but I am not sure whether or how logs are accessible on AWS Elasticsearch. ---

Please format your code, logs or configuration files using `` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable. Or use markdown style like: ```` ``` CODE ``` ```` This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/e/7e6e239431ec2d71cbf1beef741f2e93e7cc762c.jpg) There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons. Lots of people read these forums, and many of them will simply skip over a post that is difficult to read, because it's just too large an investment of their time to try and follow a wall of badly formatted text. If your goal is to get an answer to your questions, it's in your interest to make it as easy to read and understand as possible. Please update your post. ---

BTW did you look at [https://www.elastic.co/cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud) and [https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK) ? Cloud by elastic is one way to have access to all features, all managed by us. Think about what is there yet like Security, Monitoring, Reporting, SQL, Canvas, APM, Logs UI, Infra UI, SIEM, Maps UI, AppSearch and what is coming next 🙂 ... ---
