[Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co) provides enterprise-scale deployments with optimized search performance and prevents performance degradation and timeouts. Elasticsearch allows you to search large volumes of data quickly, in near real-time, by creating and managing an index of post data. Mattermost’s implementation uses [Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co) as a distributed, RESTful search engine supporting highly efficient database searches in a [cluster environment](/deployment-guide/server/high-availability-cluster-based-deployment). Visit the [Mattermost Elasticsearch product documentation](/deployment-guide/scale/elasticsearch-setup) for deployment and configuration details.

Performance monitoring support enables a Mattermost server to track system health for large Enterprise deployments through integrations with [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) and [Grafana](https://grafana.com/). These integrations support data collection from several Mattermost servers, which is particularly useful if you’re running Mattermost [in high availability mode](/deployment-guide/server/high-availability-cluster-based-deployment). Once you’re tracking system health, you can [set up performance alerts](/administration-guide/scale/performance-alerting) on your Grafana dashboard. Visit the [Mattermost Performance Monitoring product documentation](/administration-guide/scale/deploy-prometheus-grafana-for-performance-monitoring) for installation details.
