The entire stack can be launched with a single Docker command. The dashboard covers node health, query latency (p95/p99), memory breakdown (RSS vs Anon RSS), file descriptor usage, table-level resource usage, and cluster state. It includes 21 production-ready alerts and is designed to help diagnose slow search issues before they escalate into outages. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
