hi, i just installed marvel on my production cluster to try it out and i have bunch of questions. can someone help? 1. for the most important graphs, like jvm memory, load, query rate, etc what should be the ideal range or high water mark? i mean if i were to determine if i need to add more nodes, what should be my criteria? 2. what does load(1M) mean? i couldn't find a definition. 3. where is search latency metric? that is most important to me. also metrics on slow queries. 4. i have bunch of background processes that are doing queries and then updating documents. but i care more about user search latency. is there a way to create distinction by source IP or something (all user queries will come from web server nodes) thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
