Elastic AI Assistant

Elastic AI Assistant brings generative AI to the Elastic Stack, helping SREs and security teams investigate issues, write queries and resolve incidents faster.

Overview

The Elastic AI Assistant is woven into Observability and Security solutions on the Elastic Stack. It explains errors and alerts, generates ES|QL and KQL queries from natural language, suggests runbook steps and summarizes incident context — all grounded in the customer’s own logs, metrics and traces indexed in Elasticsearch.

Because Elastic is open and flexible, teams choose their own LLM provider (including self-hosted models) for the assistant, keeping data governance intact. The assistant works alongside Elastic’s APM, logs, synthetics and profiling tools, making it useful across detection, investigation and remediation.

The assistant works across Elastic’s Observability and Security solutions, helping users generate queries, interpret alerts and summarize incidents using context from their own Elasticsearch data. A key design choice is model flexibility: organizations can connect their preferred LLM provider, including self-hosted models, keeping data governance intact. Combined with Elastic’s open architecture, logs, metrics, traces and profiling data all feed into AI-assisted investigation workflows.
