Entity empowered troubleshooting

Modern applications are sufficiently instrumented and complex, creating a swell of data that's hard to navigate, parse and understand without proper context.

Announcing auto-complete with type hints in the Elasticsearch Python client

Python introduced support for type hints in Python 3.5 via PEP 484, allowing tools like Mypy and Pyright to check your Python code for type conflicts before execution. This also helps tools that provide code auto-complete — like IDE, IPython, and Jupyter Notebooks — by providing a complete function signature, even for functions that are generated on import time like the Elasticsearch Python client.
