## What it is
Cerebro is an open-source web-based admin tool for Elasticsearch clusters, built with Scala, Play Framework, AngularJS, and Bootstrap. It runs as a self-hosted web server (Java 11+) or Docker container and supports LDAP-based authentication.

## Use cases
- manage and monitor an elasticsearch cluster from a browser
- inspect indices, shards, and nodes in elasticsearch
- run queries against elasticsearch without curl
- self-hosted elasticsearch admin dashboard with LDAP auth
- run elasticsearch admin tool in docker

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight web UI to administer Elasticsearch clusters
- you want LDAP-based access control for cluster administration
- you prefer a simple self-hosted tool deployable via Docker or a binary

## When to avoid
- you use OpenSearch rather than Elasticsearch (consider its dedicated dashboards)
- you need deep analytics or visualization beyond cluster administration
- you require a fully managed or cloud-hosted monitoring solution
