OpenSearch is an open-source search and analytics suite that consists of a search engine daemon, OpenSearch, and visualization user interface, OpenSearch Dashboards. OpenSearch indexes processes data from applications such as Identity Manager and Access Manager and stores it as documents in its database. When a search query is performed, OpenSearch searches the index for the desired document. This makes OpenSearch incredibly fast at returning the most relevant search results. It helps organization to search, visualize, and analyze data. OpenSearch Dashboards allows users to see and explore their data in real-time, and also provides machine-learning powered results for anomaly detection and search relevance ranking. For more information, see OpenSearch documentation.
