In this post, I will discuss the benefits of this monitoring solution, as well as provide ideas on how to get started utilizing it. The combination of OpenSearch (an open-source tool for searching and analyzing data) and OpenSearch Dashboards (an open-source user interface for visualizing data derived from Kibana 7.10) creates a powerful mechanism for aggregating, monitoring, and visualizing application and server health.Īmazon OpenSearch Service, when combined with Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose and AWS Lambda, can create a managed, end-to-end log aggregation and workload monitoring solution for workloads, including those running in VMware Cloud on AWS. One common way organizations monitor and troubleshoot their production workloads is by monitoring application and server logs this can include web server logs, Linux syslog, and Windows event logs, for example. These issues could relate to inaccessibility, operating system (OS) instability, application misconfiguration, or any number of other possibilities.

When deploying production workloads, it’s important to have visibility into the health of these workloads in order proactively address issues that may arise. Amazon OpenSearch Service is an open source, distributed search and analytics suite derived from Elasticsearch. VMware Cloud on AWS is a jointly engineered solution by VMware and Amazon Web Services (AWS) that brings VMware’s Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) technologies such as vSphere, NSX, vSAN, and more to the AWS global infrastructure.Īmazon OpenSearch Service (successor to Amazon Elasticsearch Service) makes it easy for you to perform interactive log analytics, real-time application monitoring, website search, and more. See details.īy Drew Rutledge, Specialist Solutions Architect at AWS September 8, 2021: Amazon Elasticsearch Service has been renamed to Amazon OpenSearch Service.
