## Description

Cerebro is an administration tool for OpenSearch and Elasticsearch clusters, providing a web-based graphical interface to monitor health and manage performance. It serves as a central console for cluster administration, including the creation and organization of indices, aliases, and index templates.

The project distinguishes itself through integrated directory authentication, utilizing LDAP services to manage user identities and access permissions. It also includes a dedicated REST client console for sending manual requests to clusters, featuring autocompletion and the ability to export requests as curl commands.

The tool covers broad operational capabilities including data backup and recovery via snapshot management, shard distribution and balancing across nodes, and real-time cluster health monitoring. It also provides an alerting system for index changes and cluster membership fluctuations, alongside internal analysis tools for inspecting data distributions.
