## What it is
A Prometheus exporter written in Go that exposes Elasticsearch and OpenSearch cluster, node, and index metrics for scraping. It ships as binaries, Docker images, and a Helm chart for Kubernetes deployments.

## Use cases
- monitor elasticsearch cluster health with prometheus
- export opensearch metrics for grafana dashboards
- scrape elasticsearch node stats and index stats
- set up alerting on elasticsearch jvm and shard metrics
- deploy elasticsearch monitoring exporter on kubernetes

## When to choose
- you run Elasticsearch or OpenSearch and use Prometheus for monitoring
- you need ready-made metrics for cluster, node, and index health
- you want a Helm chart for Kubernetes-based monitoring

## When to avoid
- you use a different database or search engine
- your monitoring stack is not Prometheus-compatible
- you need application-level tracing rather than metrics

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, http-server
- domain: monitoring, databases
- platform: go, self-hosted, cloud
- tags: prometheus-exporter, elasticsearch, opensearch, metrics, observability, devops, search, docker, kubernetes, linux
