## Why use OpenSearch?

OpenSearch is well-suited to the following use cases:

* Log analytics
* Real-time application monitoring
* Clickstream analytics
* Search backend

Component | Purpose
:--- | :---
[OpenSearch](docs/opensearch/) | Data store and search engine
[OpenSearch Dashboards](docs/opensearch-dashboards/) | Search frontend and visualizations
[Security](docs/security/) | Authentication and access control for your cluster
[Alerting](docs/alerting/) | Receive notifications when your data meets certain conditions
[SQL](docs/sql/) | Use SQL or a piped processing language to query your data
[Index State Management](docs/ism/) | Automate index operations
[KNN](docs/knn/) | Find “nearest neighbors” in your vector data
[Performance Analyzer](docs/pa/) | Monitor and optimize your cluster
[Anomaly Detection](docs/ad/) | Identify atypical data and receive automatic notifications
[Asynchronous Search](docs/async/) | Run search requests in the background

You can install OpenSearch plugins [individually](docs/opensearch/install/plugins/) or use the [all-in-one packages](docs/opensearch/install/). Most of these OpenSearch plugins have corresponding OpenSearch Dashboards plugins that provide a convenient, unified user interface.

For specifics around the project, see the [FAQ](https://opensearch.org/faq/).
