What To Do When Elasticsearch Data Is Not Spreading Equally Between Nodes

Elasticsearch (ES) is a powerful tool offering multiple search, content, and analytics capabilities. You can extend its capacity and relatively quickly horizontally scale the cluster by adding more nodes. When data is indexed in some Elasticsearch index, the index is not typically placed in one node but is spread across different nodes such that each node contains a “shard” of the index data. The shard (called primary shard) is replicated across the cluster into several replicas.

Top 6 Azure VM Monitoring Tools for Better Performance

Allowing software to be configured and installed in a virtual environment and offering flexibility and scalability lowers the cost of maintaining a physical machine. This blog discusses the following key aspects.

Observability Data vs Data Observability: What's the Difference?

Fun fact: Observability goes all the way back to the 1960s, coined by scientist Rudolf Kálmán as a way to measure a system through its output. Now, over six decades later, observability has fragmented into several specialized segments — from application observability, to security observability, and everything in between. The two segments driving the most confusion are data observability and observability data.
