AutoOps FAQ

Serverless ECH ECK ECE Self-Managed

Here are answers to some common questions about AutoOps.

What does AutoOps do?
AutoOps for Elasticsearch significantly simplifies cluster management with performance recommendations, resource utilization and cost insights, real-time issue detection and resolution paths. By analyzing hundreds of Elasticsearch metrics, your configuration, and usage patterns, AutoOps recommends operational and monitoring insights that deliver savings in administration time and hardware costs.
Is AutoOps available in all types of deployments?
In the regions where it has been rolled out, AutoOps is automatically available in Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments and Elastic Cloud Serverless projects, and can be set up for ECE, ECK, and self-managed clusters.
Why can't I see AutoOps in some deployments?
AutoOps is rolling out in phases across CSPs and regions, so you may not see it if your deployment is in a region where AutoOps is not available yet.
Does AutoOps monitor the entire Elastic Stack?
AutoOps is currently limited to Elasticsearch (not Kibana, Logstash, and Beats).
What versions of Elasticsearch are supported for Elastic Cloud Hosted?
AutoOps supports Elasticsearch versions according to the supported Elastic Stack versions.
How is AutoOps currently licensed?

Using AutoOps for Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments is available at all subscription tiers.

Using AutoOps for ECE, ECK, and self-managed clusters through Cloud Connect is included with your self-managed Enterprise license and self-managed free trials.

Can AutoOps currently automatically resolve issues?
AutoOps only analyzes metrics, and is a read-only solution.
How long does Elastic retain AutoOps data?
Currently, AutoOps has a 10 day retention period for all Elastic Cloud Hosted customers.
Where are AutoOps metrics stored, and does AutoOps affect customer ECU usage?
AutoOps metrics are stored internally within the Elastic infrastructure, not on customer deployments. So using AutoOps does not consume customer ECU.
Has AutoOps replaced Stack Monitoring?

Currently, AutoOps has many of the same features as Stack Monitoring as well as several new ones. However, it only provides insights on Elasticsearch and analyzes metrics, but not logs. Read more in AutoOps and Stack Monitoring comparison.
