A typical workflow to manage time-series data is as follows:
|
A typical workflow to manage time-series data consists of setting up an alias, configuring a rollover operation, defining a write index, and creating common mapping fields in an index template. Data streams simplifies this process.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- To split your data into an index for each day, use the rollover operation.
|
|
||||||
- To perform searches on a virtual index name that gets expanded to the underlying indices, create an [index alias]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/index-alias/).
|
|
||||||
- To perform a write operation on an index alias, configure the latest index as the write index.
|
|
||||||
- To configure new indices, extract common mappings and settings into an [index template]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/index-templates/).

Even after you perform all these operations, you’re still not enforcing the best practices when dealing with time-series data. For example, you can modify the indices directly. You’re able to ingest documents without a timestamp field, which might result in slower queries.

Data streams abstract the complexity and enforce the best practices for managing time-series data.

With data streams, you can store append-only time-series data across multiple indices with a single endpoint for ingesting and searching data. We recommend using data streams in place of index aliases for time-series data.
