OpenSearch Dashboards

OpenSearch Dashboards is the default visualization tool for data in OpenSearch. It also serves as a user interface for the OpenSearch security, alerting, and Index State Management plugins.

Run OpenSearch Dashboards using Docker

You can start OpenSearch Dashboards using docker run after creating a Docker network and starting OpenSearch, but the process of connecting OpenSearch Dashboards to OpenSearch is significantly easier with a Docker Compose file.

Run docker pull opensearch/opensearch-dashboards:{{site.opensearch_version}}.
Create a docker-compose.yml file appropriate for your environment. A sample file that includes OpenSearch Dashboards is available on the OpenSearch Docker installation page.

Just like opensearch.yml, you can pass a custom opensearch_dashboards.yml to the container in the Docker Compose file. {: .tip }
Run docker-compose up.

Wait for the containers to start. Then see Get started with OpenSearch Dashboards.
When finished, run docker-compose down.

Configuration

To run OpenSearch Dashboards when the system starts:

sudo /bin/systemctl daemon-reload
sudo /bin/systemctl enable opensearch-dashboards.service

You can also modify the values in /etc/opensearch-dashboards/opensearch_dashboards.yml.

Run OpenSearch Dashboards using the tarball

Download the tarball:

# x64
curl https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/tarball/opensearch-dashboards/opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-x64.tar.gz -o opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-x64.tar.gz
# ARM64
curl https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/tarball/opensearch-dashboards/opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-arm64.tar.gz -o opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-arm64.tar.gz

Download the checksum:

# x64
curl https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/tarball/opensearch-dashboards/opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-x64.tar.gz.sha512 -o opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-x64.tar.gz.sha512
# ARM64
curl https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/tarball/opensearch-dashboards/opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-arm64.tar.gz.sha512 -o opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-arm64.tar.gz.sha512

Verify the tarball against the checksum:

# x64
shasum -a 512 -c opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-x64.tar.gz.sha512
# ARM64
shasum -a 512 -c opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-arm64.tar.gz.sha512

On CentOS, you might not have shasum. Install this package:

sudo yum install perl-Digest-SHA

Extract the TAR file to a directory and change to that directory:

# x64
tar -zxf opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-x64.tar.gz
cd opensearch-dashboards
# ARM64
tar -zxf opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-linux-arm64.tar.gz
cd opensearch-dashboards

If desired, modify config/opensearch_dashboards.yml.
Run OpenSearch Dashboards:
```
./bin/opensearch-dashboards
```
