In an ELK deployment what are metrics people typically monitor in Elastic Search. We are able to gather and monitor the following metrics using [enter link description here](http://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/elasticsearch/)datadog. We have a 4nodes in the ELK cluster:- 3 master-data nodes 1 client node + kibana We have about 2 110 GB indices. We are keeping 7 days logs. So a total of 14 indices. Please point me to any doc or wiki about ElasticSearch monitoring ( if possible more specific to ElasticSearch-Logstash-Kibana deployment). ---
