- AutoOps Operator
The Operator streamlines and automates many operations in Elasticsearch and OpenSearch in order to improve stability, increase performance, and reduce the overhead of developing and maintaining cookbooks and scripts. - Template Optimizer
Analyzes Elasticsearch & OpenSearch templates to improve configuration and performance. AutoOps continuously monitors the template definitions and alerts & suggests optimizations when the templates are modified and can be optimized.
- Search Log Analyzer
Provide insights as to why searches are slow and how they can be optimized.
- Enhanced Incident Analysis
Many new events were added to AutoOps, in order to cover more use-cases and optimization scenarios, providing users with more value and control.
