Alternative to Elasticsearch Head
Pulse provides real-time Elasticsearch monitoring, with health assessments and expert help.
The head plugin for Elasticsearch (`elasticsearch-head`) is a web-based frontend for browsing and interacting with an Elasticsearch cluster. It provides a user-friendly interface to visualize cluster health, index data, execute queries, and manage nodes. As a plugin or standalone web application, it helps developers and administrators monitor and debug Elasticsearch more effectively.
Unfortunately, elasticsearch-head is not being maintained anymore
Pulse is a modern, actively maintained Elasticsearch monitoring solution that is taking cluster observability to the next level. It doesn’t just show you what’s happening in your cluster; it analyzes the data, identifies opportunities for improvement, and provides intelligent recommendations. Whether you’re addressing performance issues, optimizing resource usage, or improving cluster reliability, Pulse is the ideal choice for Elasticsearch and OpenSearch monitoring.
Dashboards
Pulse offers expert-built dashboards tailored for Elasticsearch users, providing smart observability with pre-built views of nodes, indices, and shards. These intuitive dashboards enable informed decision-making by delivering deep insights into system performance and health.
Unlike open-source monitoring UIs, Pulse takes a specialized approach with unique features like the Shard Heatmap and index grouping, offering drill-down views into node tiers and availability zones. Designed by Elasticsearch experts for their own use, Pulse encapsulates years of optimization expertise, ensuring users gain meaningful insights with minimal effort.
