# Migrating to ClickHouse Observability from Elastic

> Migrate from Elastic Stack to fully managed ClickHouse Observability, with separate instructions for self-managed deployments.

[Beta offering](https://clickhouse.com/docs/reference/settings/beta-and-experimental-features.md#beta-features)

Plan your migration from Elastic Stack to **fully managed ClickHouse Observability**, the recommended default experience. Start with the introduction and search comparison, then follow the data, agent, and SDK migration guides. Where the steps differ, use the self-managed tabs for self-managed deployments.

Fully managed ClickHouse Observability handles the underlying schemas and storage configuration for you. If you manage these internals yourself, review [equivalent concepts](https://clickhouse.com/docs/clickstack/self-configured/migration/elastic/concepts.md) and [type mappings](https://clickhouse.com/docs/clickstack/self-configured/migration/elastic/types.md).
