Q: What types of data can Elasticsearch index and search?

Elasticsearch indexes virtually any data type — text documents, log files, JSON records, geospatial data, numeric time series, and structured database records. It handles both full-text search (finding words within documents) and structured queries (filtering by date ranges, categories, or numeric values).

Q: How does Elasticsearch differ from a regular database?

Elasticsearch is optimised for search and analytics rather than transactional operations. It excels at full-text search, aggregations, and real-time querying across large datasets. However, it is not a replacement for your primary database — it works best as a complementary search and analytics layer.

Q: Can Elasticsearch alerts trigger automated business workflows?

Yes. Elasticsearch's alerting features (through Kibana or Watcher) can detect conditions in your data — error rate spikes, unusual patterns, threshold breaches. We connect these alerts to automation workflows that notify teams, create tickets, or take corrective actions automatically.

Q: Is Elasticsearch suitable for small businesses or only enterprises?

Elasticsearch scales in both directions. Small businesses can run a single-node cluster for site search or log analysis, while enterprises run multi-node clusters processing terabytes of data. Managed services like Elastic Cloud simplify operations for smaller teams.

Q: Can we feed data from multiple business tools into Elasticsearch?

Absolutely. We build ingestion pipelines that pull data from your CRM, support platform, product database, documents, and other sources into Elasticsearch. This creates a unified search index where your team can find information across all systems from a single search bar.

Q: How do we manage Elasticsearch without a dedicated engineering team?

Managed Elasticsearch services like Elastic Cloud handle infrastructure, upgrades, backups, and scaling. We set up the initial configuration, indexing pipelines, and automation connections, then provide documentation so your team can manage day-to-day operations.

We can help you automate your business with Elasticsearch and hundreds of other systems to improve efficiency and productivity. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss implementing Elasticsearch.

About Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is a distributed search and analytics engine built on Apache Lucene. It stores, indexes, and queries large volumes of structured and unstructured data with sub-second response times. Beyond full-text search, Elasticsearch powers log analytics, application performance monitoring, security event analysis, and business intelligence dashboards.

Engineering teams, DevOps engineers, data analysts, and security operations teams use Elasticsearch as the backbone for search-driven applications and observability platforms. Common deployments include website search bars, product catalogue search, centralised log management (often as part of the ELK stack), and real-time monitoring dashboards that track system health and business metrics.

At Osher, we connect Elasticsearch to business automation workflows so your indexed data can drive operational actions. When Elasticsearch detects a spike in error logs, our automations can page the on-call engineer, create a Jira ticket, and post details to a Slack channel. When product search analytics reveal trending queries, we can update your CRM or marketing tools with those insights. We also build workflows that feed data into Elasticsearch from multiple business systems, creating a unified search layer across your CRM, support tickets, documents, and product catalogue. Our automated data processing team handles the full pipeline — ingesting data into Elasticsearch, building queries, and connecting search results to downstream business actions.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Elasticsearch

As Elasticsearch consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Elasticsearch with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Define Your Search and Analytics Goals

We identify what you need Elasticsearch for — site search, log analysis, data aggregation, or monitoring — and determine which data sources need to be indexed and which queries matter most.

Step 2

Set Up the Elasticsearch Cluster

We configure your Elasticsearch deployment — whether self-hosted or managed through Elastic Cloud — with appropriate index mappings, shard configuration, and security settings for your data volume.

Step 3

Build Data Ingestion Pipelines

We create automated workflows that continuously feed data from your business systems into Elasticsearch, transforming and enriching records as they flow through the ingestion pipeline.

Step 4

Configure Alerting and Monitoring

We set up Elasticsearch watchers or Kibana alerts that detect important conditions in your data — error spikes, anomalies, threshold breaches — and trigger automated responses.

Step 5

Connect to Downstream Workflows

We wire Elasticsearch alerts and query results into your business automation platform, so detected conditions can trigger Slack notifications, ticket creation, email alerts, or API calls to other systems.

Step 6

Optimise Queries and Monitor Performance

We tune index settings, query performance, and retention policies based on real usage patterns, ensuring your Elasticsearch deployment stays fast and cost-effective as data volumes grow.
