OpenSearch natively supports OpenTelemetry (OTel) for ingesting logs, metrics, and traces, enabling a standardized approach to observability across your infrastructure. By integrating OTel, you can collect and visualize telemetry data with standard protocols.
With OpenSearch Observability architecture in place, you have the power to create visualizations that drive clarity and unlock analytics to deliver smarter decision-making and better performance.
An adaptable foundation for observability
Native OpenTelemetry integration
OpenSearch provides native support for ingesting telemetry data that adheres to the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP).
Support for Jaeger
Analyze Jaeger trace data within OpenSearch Dashboards for comprehensive trace analytics.
Dual ingestion methods
Use OTel Collector’s OpenSearch Exporter for direct ingestion of logs and traces or native OTLP receivers for production-scale ingestion of logs, traces, and metrics.
Migration assistance
Perform an end-to-end, zero-downtime upgrade and migration using OpenSearch Migration Assistant.
Flexibility, compatibility, and security at any scale
Robust security
The Security plugin enables enterprise-level security at any scale by letting you limit non-admin users to specific actions, such as viewing vs. creating or modifying visualizations and notebooks.
Flexible ingestion
By supporting OpenTelemetry sources for logs, traces, and metrics, OpenSearch unlocks custom pipelines tailored to your needs.
Integration with OpenSearch Dashboards
OpenSearch Observability architecture forms a foundation for exploring and querying your data through trace analytics, alerting, and more.
Compatibility with Piped Processing Language
Analyze observability data with a query language that handles semi-structured data efficiently.
Architect observability to meet your needs
