Amazon OpenSearch Service

Important

This setup is deprecated. We recommend using Storage as a Service (STaaS) instead. If you want to use self-hosted storage, use OpenSearch as the indexing database.

Using the Amazon OpenSearch Service on AWS as the DataMiner indexing database is supported from DataMiner 10.3.0 [CU0] up to 10.3.0 [CU8] and from DataMiner 10.3.3 up to 10.3.11. Although the service is named after OpenSearch, it offers both OpenSearch and Elasticsearch clusters. However, note that DataMiner only supports Elasticsearch version 6.8, so using Elasticsearch is not recommended.

Compatibility

Supported versions:

  • OpenSearch version 1.X
  • OpenSearch version 2.X
  • Elasticsearch version 6.8 (not recommended)

Creating your Amazon OpenSearch Service domain

  1. Go to AWS Management Console, and log in.

  2. Go to Amazon OpenSearch Service.

  3. Create your domain by selecting Create domain in the top-right corner.

    Create Domain

  4. Configure your domain with the appropriate settings.

    1. Set Deployment type to "Production", and select a supported version and at least 3 nodes.

    2. Choose an instance type.

      Note
      • The instance type determines the hardware specifications of your cluster. You cannot change this setting later without creating a new domain. This setting determines the resources of your cluster and will dictate the performance of the cluster as well as the price.
      • For more information on the specifications and pricing of each type, see Amazon OpenSearch Service Pricing.

    3. Keep Compatibility mode disabled.

    4. Set Network to "Public Access".

    5. Set Access policy to "Only use fine-grained access control".

    6. Go to the fine-grained access control settings, and select "Create master user".

    7. Specify a user name and a password.

      Tip

      Store this information somewhere as you are going to need it later to configure the database in DataMiner Cube.

    8. Under Advanced cluster settings - optional, set Max clause count to "2147483647".

New domains typically take 15 to 30 minutes to initialize, but it can take longer depending on the configuration. Once your domain is initialized, select it to open its configuration pane.

Note the domain endpoint under General information.

Create Domain

Connect your DMS to your Amazon OpenSearch Service domain

To configure the connection to an Amazon OpenSearch Service database, configure the settings as detailed in Amazon OpenSearch Service.

Important

An Amazon OpenSearch Service database requires a separate Cassandra cluster or Amazon Keyspaces database.
