Hey HN - Pulse (https://pulse.support) is a platform that’s making it easy for teams to maintain the health of their OpenSearch and Elasticsearch clusters.

Key features (this is not just 'another monitoring tool'): * Proactive monitoring to detect cluster issues before they impact cost and performance * Actionable recommendations for resolving potential issues that are detected * Cluster health assessments - clear daily status reports for the stability, performance, security, and resiliency of your clusters * Dashboards designed for Opensearch and Elasticsearch with pre-built views for nodes and indices, shard heat maps and k-NN vector search * 24/7 expert (human) support to help with more nuanced, complex issues that come up

Check it out and try it - feedback and questions welcome!

    Interesting, however, we can't expose our cluster publicly (it's within a Google Cloud VPC). TBH, the lack of tools that support our config in general is frustrating. How would Pulse work in an environment like this?

    I've seen some similar ES solutions, but I haven't seen one like this for opensearch. What's your level of support for opensearch?

    Looks cool. I was looking into a similar solution recently and had a conversation with someone on this. Will check it out.

    Looks cool but we’re currently using Datadog to monitor our Elasticsearch cluster, how is this different/better?

    Whats the largest cluster you support? I’ve been looking for something thats effective at scale.

    Will this work with older Elasticsearch versions too? (I'm running ES 2.4)
