## What it is
ElasticHQ is a browser-based web application for monitoring and managing Elasticsearch clusters, nodes, indices, shards, and mappings, with real-time metrics and one-click REST API access. It supports multiple clusters and Elasticsearch versions from 2.x onward, and is distributed as a Docker image or Python app.

## Use cases
- monitor elasticsearch cluster health in a web ui
- manage elasticsearch indices and mappings without curl
- view node and shard metrics across multiple elasticsearch clusters
- run elasticsearch queries from a gui instead of raw rest calls
- diagnose problematic elasticsearch nodes
- reindex or clone elasticsearch indices with a few clicks

## When to choose
- you run older Elasticsearch versions (2.x-7.x) and want a free admin UI
- you need multi-cluster monitoring in a single self-hosted interface
- you want a lightweight Docker-deployed alternative to paid monitoring tools

## When to avoid
- you use Elasticsearch 8.x or newer - the project is explicitly unmaintained and may not work
- you need actively supported monitoring with security updates
- you require official vendor support or X-Pack integration guarantees
