I am using Elastic cloud and want to follow this tutorial: [Get started with Behavioral Analytics | Elasticsearch Guide [8.18] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.18/behavioral-analytics-start.html#behavioral-analytics-start-collections) but i can't find "Search -\> Behavioural Analytics" ![Screenshot 2025-06-16 at 6.11.30 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/3/238fbc2524b0ec7ea0a06085d77c78105e36b1de.png) ---

Hi @Sami_Jan, could it be the case you're searching for Behavioral Analytics on an 9.x deployment? The Getting started documentation you linked applies to versions 8.18.x, where Behavioral Analytics are still supported. ---

Hello @Sami_Jan As @Dana_Juratoni said it seems you are logged in to version 9.x I checked in 9.x it did not return any records. On version 8.18 it did return below : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/c/6ce454be5089cbcf4a767dfa18fb6bdbce53c08d.png) Thanks!! ---

Thank you Dana and Tortoise Yes, you are both right - the latest Elastic Cloud runs on v9.x @Dana, can you plz tell me how do i monitor search analytics like search terms, empty results, latency etc in Elastic v9? Is there any Elastic documentation for that Thanks ---

There are many ways to get data in. Here's an older article as an example: [Analyzing online search relevance metrics with Elasticsearch & the Elastic Stack | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/analyzing-online-search-relevance-metrics-with-the-elastic-stack) We'll be working to add more open source ways for customers to use UBI for a similar effect e.g. [GitHub - o19s/user-behavior-insights-elasticsearch: User Behavior Insights (UBI) plugin for Elasticsearch](https://github.com/o19s/user-behavior-insights-elasticsearch) For monitoring search analytics like latency, etc. in Elastic v9, I’d recommend checking out [AutoOps](https://www.elastic.co/search-labs/blog/autoops-elasticsearch-easy-operations) (and articles its category [AutoOps - Elasticsearch Labs](https://www.elastic.co/search-labs/blog/category/autoops)). It provides insights and recommendations around performance, resource utilization, and more. Hope this helps! ---

hello, we have been using behavioral analytics for v8.18.3 to track search events on our existing system. are there any plans to continue support on it or update it to future releases? should we keep using it or do we need to migrate our events tracking to a normal index/doc
