Elastop - Elasticsearch Terminal Dashboard

Elastop is a terminal-based dashboard for monitoring Elasticsearch clusters in real-time. It provides a comprehensive view of cluster health, node status, indices, and various performance metrics in an easy-to-read terminal interface. This tool was designed to look visually similar HTOP.

Features

• Real-time cluster monitoring
• Node status and resource usage
• Index statistics and write rates
• Search and indexing performance metrics
• Memory usage and garbage collection stats
• Network and disk I/O monitoring
• Color-coded health status indicators
• Role-based node classification
• Version compatibility checking
