This section contains documentation for OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards.
To get started, explore the following documentation:

| Fast, scalable full-text search | Application and infrastructure monitoring | Security and event information management | Operational health tracking |
| Help users find the right information within your application, website, or data lake catalog. | Easily store and analyze log data, and set automated alerts for performance issues. | Centralize logs to enable real-time security monitoring and forensic analysis. | Use observability logs, metrics, and traces to monitor your applications in real time. |
OpenSearch provides several features to help index, secure, monitor, and analyze your data:
- Anomaly detection -- Identify atypical data and receive automatic notifications.
- SQL -- Use SQL or a Piped Processing Language (PPL) to query your data.
- Index State Management -- Automate index operations.
- Search methods -- From traditional lexical search to advanced vector and hybrid search, discover the optimal search method for your use case.
- Machine learning -- Integrate machine learning models into your workloads.
- Workflow automation -- Automate complex OpenSearch setup and preprocessing tasks.
- Performance evaluation -- Monitor and optimize your cluster.
- Asynchronous search -- Run search requests in the background.
- Cross-cluster replication -- Replicate your data across multiple OpenSearch clusters.
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 with your own certificates, authentication method, users, and passwords. To get started, see Getting started with OpenSearch security.
