# OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards
|
|
|
|
This section contains documentation for OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
- [Intro to OpenSearch]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/intro/)
|
|
- [Quickstart]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/quickstart/)
|
|
- [Install OpenSearch]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/install-and-configure/install-opensearch/index/)
|
|
- [Install OpenSearch Dashboards]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/install-and-configure/install-dashboards/index/)
|
|
- [See the FAQ](https://opensearch.org/faq)
|
|
|
|
## Why use OpenSearch?
|
|
|
|
With OpenSearch, you can perform the following use cases:
|
|
|
|
<table style="table-layout: auto ; width: 100%;">
|
|
<tbody>
|
|
<tr style="text-align: center; vertical-align:center;">
|
|
<td><img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/1_search.png" class="no-border" alt="Fast, scalable full-text search" height="100"/></td>
|
|
<td><img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/2_monitoring.png" class="no-border" alt="Application and infrastructure monitoring" height="100"/></td>
|
|
<td><img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/3_security.png" class="no-border" alt="Security and event information management" height="100"/></td>
|
|
<td><img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/4_tracking.png" class="no-border" alt="Operational health tracking" height="100"/></td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr style="text-align: left; vertical-align:top; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0,59,92)">
|
|
<td>Fast, Scalable Full-text Search</td>
|
|
<td>Application and Infrastructure Monitoring</td>
|
|
<td>Security and Event Information Management</td>
|
|
<td>Operational Health Tracking</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr style="text-align: left; vertical-align:top;">
|
|
<td>Help users find the right information within your application, website, or data lake catalog. </td>
|
|
<td>Easily store and analyze log data, and set automated alerts for underperformance.</td>
|
|
<td>Centralize logs to enable real-time security monitoring and forensic analysis.</td>
|
|
<td>Use observability logs, metrics, and traces to monitor your applications and business in real time.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</tbody>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
**Additional features and plugins:**
|
|
|
|
OpenSearch has several features and plugins to help index, secure, monitor, and analyze your data. Most OpenSearch plugins have corresponding OpenSearch Dashboards plugins that provide a convenient, unified user interface.
|
|
- [Anomaly detection]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/monitoring-plugins/ad/) - Identify atypical data and receive automatic notifications
|
|
- [KNN]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/knn/) - Find “nearest neighbors” in your vector data
|
|
- [Performance Analyzer]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/monitoring-plugins/pa/) - Monitor and optimize your cluster
|
|
- [SQL]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/sql/index/) - Use SQL or a piped processing language to query your data
|
|
- [Index State Management]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/im-plugin/) - Automate index operations
|
|
- [ML Commons plugin]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/ml-commons-plugin/index/) - Train and execute machine-learning models
|
|
- [Asynchronous search]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/async/) - Run search requests in the background
|
|
- [Cross-cluster replication]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/replication-plugin/index/) - Replicate your data across multiple OpenSearch clusters
|
|
|
|
|
|
## The secure path forward
|
|
OpenSearch includes a demo configuration so that you can get up and running quickly, but before using OpenSearch in a production environment, you must [configure the Security plugin manually]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/security/configuration/index/) with your own certificates, authentication method, users, and passwords.
