OpenSearch Benchmark
OpenSearch Benchmark is a macrobenchmark utility provided by the OpenSearch Project. You can use OpenSearch Benchmark to gather performance metrics from an OpenSearch cluster for a variety of purposes, including:
- Tracking the overall performance of an OpenSearch cluster.
- Informing decisions about when to upgrade your cluster to a new version.
- Determining how changes to your workflow—such as modifying mappings or queries—might impact your cluster.
OpenSearch Benchmark can be installed directly on a compatible host running Linux or macOS. You can also run OpenSearch Benchmark in a Docker container. See Installing OpenSearch Benchmark for more information.
