Tracing performance issues

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hey!

What is your favorite way to closely inspect query performance?

We recently upgraded from 0.19.2 to 0.90.5, and moved off AWS onto
dedicated hardware. The new cluster runs at a much lower load, and is on
SSDs.

You'd think that performance would increase vastly, but instead it dropped

  • our queries are now awful, are around 400ms. Is there a way of seeing
    where the breakdown is? For example, mysql has EXPLAIN... which can
    indicate index issues.

Can you give more info about CPU, RAM, OS, JVM? Maybe network? How does
your queries look like?

You shoud use monitoring tools to watch your query workload and if your
resources can deal with it.
