Configuring OpenSearch Dashboards

OpenSearch Dashboards uses the opensearch_dashboards.yml configuration file to read settings when you spin up a cluster. You can find opensearch_dashboards.yml in /usr/share/opensearch-dashboards/config/opensearch_dashboards.yml (Docker) or /etc/opensearch-dashboards/opensearch_dashboards.yml (most Linux distributions) on each node.

For information about OpenSearch Dashboards settings, see the sample opensearch_dashboards.yml file.
