Adding an OpenSearch service (Private preview)

OpenSearch is an open source search and analytics engine that is designed to help you explore, analyze, and visualize large volumes of data in real time. It is built for use cases like log analytics, full-text search, application monitoring, and security event analysis.

Complete the following steps to add an OpenSearch service:

  1. Log in to the watsonx.data console.

  2. From the navigation menu, select Infrastructure Manager.

  3. To define and connect to a service, click Add component, select OpenSearch, and click Next.

  4. In the Add component - OpenSearch window, provide the following details:

    • Select the service. For example, OpenSearch.
    • Select the suitable size. For example, Starter, which includes one coordinator node and one worker node.
  5. Click Create.

The OpenSearch service is created and displayed in the Infrastructure Manager page.

You can create only one OpenSearch service in an instance and only instance administrators are authorized to do all the OpenSearch operations.
