Three questions for an SRE or operations team:
• Metrics: “what’s happening”. Numbers you can set alerting thresholds on
• Traces: “where is it
Elastic Workflows reduces the complexity of investigating and analyzing alerts.
It ships an RCA example that does the boring half:
• Attach it to an observability alerting rule
• An Agent Builder agent investigates the alert and proposes root causes
• A case opens with an
Deleting a document in Elasticsearch doesn't delete it. Not right away.
Data lives in immutable Lucene segments. A delete or update only marks the old doc as gone. The disk space comes back when segments merge and get rewritten.
Force merge does that rewrite on demand:

A cheap recall fix moved from step 31 to step 2.
DiskBBQ auto-calibration walks a list of candidate configs in cost order and keeps the first one predicted to hit 90% recall@10. So the order of that list decides what you ship.
The old order spent document bits too early. Rerank
Elastic Streams is now a managed data pipeline for telemetry on Elastic Cloud Serverless.
Your shippers keep sending as they do now. Streams filters, parses, enriches and routes the data to Elasticsearch, your own S3 bucket, or both.
What that changes:
