Our Process 

As the foundational offering for Elastic services, the Health Check and Architectural Review package revolves around two critical facets: Diagnostic Data and Client Needs. These two factors are used to inform the Recommendations Report that follows the cluster review.

DIAGNOSTIC DATA

A lot can be understood about a cluster based on its current contents and configurations. The Diagnostic Data factor revolves around gathering this information from the cluster itself using a combination of automated programs and manual inspection. The IR Engineer will assist you in running any of these steps, or if you are able to grant sufficient permissions, can conduct the diagnostic dumps without your involvement. The data contained within these diagnostics pertains to the following:

  • Cluster node sizing, makeup, and distribution

  • Index mappings and sharding strategies

  • Overall cluster health

CLIENT NEEDS

While an IR Engineer is reviewing your cluster’s diagnostic data and overall architecture, they will also work towards an understanding of your Elastic implementation and use-case to provide the most value in their Recommendations Report. This Client Needs step is done in one or more meetings where the IR Engineer interviews you and your team to shed light on the cluster’s business criticality, desired usage (present and future), and how the cluster intermeshes with other components of your technical ecosystem. Following this activity, the IR Engineer will then prepare and deliver your Health Check & Architectural Review Recommendations Report.

Value

The value delivered by the Elastic Health Check and Architectural Review offering truly stems from its simplicity. This package acts as the “due diligence” that can lead to so many other interactions with your Elastic implementation, and provides invaluable insight into the operational stability and functionality of your cluster.

With the Health Check & Architectural Review package, IR Engineers are targeting the core of your implementation. This offering allows them to extract critical diagnostic and architectural data, giving you and the IR Engineers a clear picture of how your cluster is operating. Armed with this information, we can make well-informed decisions on how to optimize the health of your Elastic implementation. The data gleaned from the Health Check & Architectural Review will be used to draft a Recommendations Report regarding the best path toward a stable, fast, and cost-effective cluster that falls in-line with best practices.

Benefits
