One of the really cool aspects of OpenSearch is its ability to serve as a monitoring tool for itself. Let's have a look at how to piece together a monitoring solution for OpenSearch using components from the OpenSearch ecosystem such as Data Prepper and OpenSearch alerting. We will focus on security aspects like authentication and authorization.\n\nAny software dealing with confidential data needs to have a security solution providing authentication and authorization. And any such security solution should have proper monitoring. OpenSearch is no exception in this regard.\n\nIn this presentation, we will look how to use components like Audit Logs, Data Prepper and OpenSearch Alerting to create a small, but effective security monitoring solution.
