Last Updated:Apr 10, 2026

When you perform operations on an Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch (ES) instance—such as changing the cluster configuration, restarting the instance, or performing a scale-out or scale-in—you can track the progress and status on the Change Records page. This page also lists the instance's change history for the past 30 days.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch console.

  2. In the left navigation menu, choose Elasticsearch Clusters.

  3. Navigate to the target cluster.

    1. In the top navigation bar, select the resource group to which the cluster belongs and the region where the cluster resides.

    2. On the Elasticsearch Clusters page, find the cluster and click its ID.

  4. In the left-side navigation pane, click Change Records to view the progress, status, and details of instance changes within the selected time period.
