| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Pulse is a monitoring and optimization platform for Elasticsearch and OpenSearch clusters. It detects issues, tracks performance, delivers smart alerts, and recommendations to keep your search infrastructure healthy. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The integration ingests Pulse alerts as Datadog Events, enabling teams to centralize alert management, correlate issues with metrics and logs, and streamline incident response. |
| 8 | + |

| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- Alert title, severity, and description |
| 12 | +- Triggered and resolved timestamps |
| 13 | +- Cluster, nodes, and indices names |
