Still Managing Elasticsearch by Hand? Time to Upgrade.
ClusterControl is the Elasticsearch management platform DevOps teams actually want. Built for engineers. Trusted by enterprises. Made for your infrastructure.
ClusterControl supports your Elasticsearch lifecycle end-to-end:
Deploy: Create full-fledged clusters with customized role assignments in minutes.
Observe: Real-time dashboards for cluster health, shard balance, node performance, and advisor suggestions for optimization.
Recover: Schedule and archive snapshot backups with encryption and retention to cloud or local storage.
Scale: Add or remove nodes seamlessly and rebalance shards automatically.
Automate: Built-in advisors detect shard imbalance, slow segments, or disk pressure. Auto-healing workflows resolve issues with minimal intervention.
Using several different tools, rather than a one-stop shop, was detrimental to our productivity. Severalnines is that “shop” and we haven’t looked back. It’s an awesome solution like no other.
Supported Elasticsearch Configurations
Supported Distributions
Choose from native Elasticsearch deployments and flexible installation methods:
ClusterControl also supports deployments via official Elasticsearch repositories, operating system package managers (e.g., APT, YUM), or custom binaries — maximizing flexibility.
Elasticsearch (Open Source) – Official upstream distribution maintained by Elastic.
Cluster Topology & Roles
Under the hood, Elasticsearch ensures durability and fault tolerance through:
- In‑Sync Replica Copies – Elasticsearch uses replication of shard copies (primary and replicas) to maintain data availability and protect against node failure.
Severalnines is Enterprise Ready
Reliable
Zero-downtime operations you can count on.
Secure
Data stays protected, at rest and in transit.
Compliant
GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 standards.

I use Kibana with my Elasticsearch deployment for data manipulation. Does ClusterControl include that functionality too?
With ClusterControl, we focus on what we know best which is automating database provisioning and maintenance. The rest we let you decide so you can keep using Kibana as always.
Should I switch from using my PostgreSQL as a primary database deployment with ClusterControl to using Elasticsearch, as I have terabytes of data I need to go through?
In general, just keep using PostgreSQL as you do now and have a look at the available integrations for connecting with Elasticsearch, as once you’ve automated deployment with ClusterControl, the rest is just connectivity to your desire.
Given the amount of data, I don’t normally take backups for Elasticsearch. What do you recommend?
For DR and as part of a good B’n’R strategy, we highly recommend not only the use of a cluster for HA but using the Elasticsearch snapshot capability that allows you to store the backups locally or on AWS S3.
