Query Insights records latency CPU and memory by search phase and treats WLM group info as a first class attribute so queries are filterable and grouped by shape via OpenSearch Dashboards and local index exporters. Rule based auto tagging assigns requests by index username or role and WLM enforces limits proactively with rejections and reactively by canceling heavy queries. In the demo nested aggregations on an analytics index show 5+ second CPU spikes that drop after applying 15% CPU cap, using grouping by query shape and rule-based auto tagging.
