It takes many minutes to update data in Kibana dashboard. How can I know if it is kibana or elasticsearch that I need to upgrade? Both have 2Gb ram and 2 zones ---

It depends on a lot of variables - the specific dashboard configuration, the amount of data in your Elasticsearch cluster, the hardware specs of the individual nodes, index configurations, ... A good starting point is enabling monitoring on your cluster to gain insights in what's happening exactly: [Monitor and Manage Elasticsearch | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/what-is/elasticsearch-monitoring) 2gb ram for Elasticsearch is definitely very little, but it might be enough depending on your volume. Monitoring should tell you more. ---

Thanks. I forgot I have autoscale on elasticsearch, but I didn't understand it has Maximum set, intead of usual minimum! So my autoscale has not been of much use. To be clear I use elastic cloud. So not sure what I was supposed to see in the documentation link ---

What is the output from the `_cluster/stats?pretty&human` API? ---

I just added more Ram (16Gb) and now it loads fairly ok. I probably need to double it still. But this method helps. Thank you for your advicing ---
