Hi, I am unexperienced on Elastic ,I have used only twice on some of my side projects. But my company uses it on AWS Opensearch. I am a cloud engineer ,therefore my task has been to check costs ,and optimize. I came upon an Opensearch Cluster on production ,that has 26 nodes size : r5.large.search :: 2Vcpu , 16Gb Ram. I know for sure that there is a problem with either the setup or how applications use this cluster, because I know we do not have that much data to process, index or search. The cpu stays on each 3% , and Memory stays 97% on each Node. Now I have attached a screen shot that shows the nodes. ![opensearch](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/1/d1abe0a2b04dc629a73ab616d54ac4f9cc7fb98f.png) Indexing latency is 160-240 in only one node. All other nodes is 0, beside 3-4 nodes which is from 10-60. Can someone tell from it if we have a problem? If you need anything else from the metrics, let me know 🙂 ---

Hi @MaXiMiLian You really need to visit the Opensearch Community... the products are vastly different these days.. so we don't answer Opeansearch questions here > **[OpenSearch](https://forum.opensearch.org/)** > > OpenSearch is a community-driven, open source search, analytics, and vector database platform with integrated tools for observability, security, visualization, and AI-powered applications. ---

Hi and thank you for your reply. I will open a ticket over there as you suggested. ---

Good luck with your opensearch query. > [@MaXiMiLian](#): > > I am a cloud engineer ,therefore my task has been to check costs ,and optimize. This (excellent) summary of a cloud engineer's role made me chuckle. Concise, and on point. ---

I don't have any plans to go into the depths of opensearch or elasticsearch. But I know something is wrong because we do not have that much data to work with. But I thought someone might see the metrics and say something is off. About my role , I just want to see where the money is going and if there is a way to optimise our setup. I like to automate with as little money as possible. ---

Remove a node every couple of days from the cluster. Until someone notices that something “seems slower”. Then stop. You’ll have optimised AND saved money. Suggestion is , slightly, in jest. See if you can find someone involved in provisioning the cluster , and ask them how they arrived at the size of your cluster. There’s likely an architect involved. Maybe even a design document with some numbers. Compare with reality. ---
