Monitoring Bulk Indexing Performance
Monitoring the performance of your bulk indexing operations is crucial for optimizing your data ingestion pipeline. Elasticsearch provides several tools and APIs for monitoring, such as:
- Cluster Health API: Check the overall health of your Elasticsearch cluster.
- Index Stats API: Retrieve statistics for specific indices to monitor indexing performance.
- Task Management API: Track long-running tasks in Elasticsearch.
Here’s an example of using the Index Stats API to monitor indexing performance:
curl -X GET "http://localhost:9200/myindex/_stats/indexing?pretty"
This command returns detailed indexing statistics for the myindex index.
