Hello
I am at beginner level in ElasticSearch. I wanted performance - monitoring
to check health of ElasticSearch Cluster. I installed BigDesk Plug-in which
is created by lukas-vlcek [https://github.com/lukas-vlcek](https://github.com/lukas-vlcek) from link
[https://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk](https://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk) .
I understand almost all graphs which are shown by this tool. But I could
not understand some of graphs of these tool. I am unable to understand
graphs underneath Process section and HTTP & Transport Section.
PFA is image for same. Please see it.
Can any please describe these graphs?
I would really apericiate your help.

Hi,
File descriptors shows how many files ES has open and what the max allowed
is.
