Monitor Amazon Elasticsearch Service with Datadog

Amazon Elasticsearch Service is a managed service that helps users configure, deploy, and maintain their Elasticsearch clusters in AWS cloud environments. Datadog's integration with Amazon Elasticsearch Service allows automatic collection of key metrics, visualization on an out-of-the-box dashboard, and alerts for resource shortages or performance issues. The integration also enables connection to the hosted Elasticsearch cluster to pull additional metrics beyond those provided by AWS CloudWatch. Key features of Amazon Elasticsearch Service include automated data backups, availability through zone awareness, and monitoring via CloudWatch. Datadog's integration allows users to collect, visualize, and alert on various metrics such as cluster status, free storage space, JVM heap usage, CPU utilization, latency, and IOPS. Users can also set up alerts for potential issues like high CPU utilization or low free storage space. Additionally, the Datadog Agent provides access to more Elasticsearch metrics than those exposed by CloudWatch.
