OpenSearch Consulting
Search & Observability Suite
OpenSearch searches through large amounts of data in real time and makes it available for analysis in dashboards. Through our OpenSearch consulting services, we’ll work with you to set up the platform to fit your environment.
What OpenSearch Does for Your Data
OpenSearch, a fully open-source platform with no licensing restrictions, searches, analyzes, and visualizes large volumes of data in real time.
Full text search and analysis
Search structured and unstructured data almost in real time. Complex search queries help you to recognize patterns and quickly extract relevant information from large amounts of data.
Visualization and dashboards
Search structured and unstructured data almost in real time. Complex search queries help you to recognize patterns and quickly extract relevant information from large amounts of data.
Open API integration
Use the RESTful API to index data, create queries and manage alarms. This allows you to integrate OpenSearch seamlessly into your own applications or third-party tools.
Anomaly detection (ML-based outlier detection)
Built-in machine learning automatically detects atypical patterns and alerts you early so you can identify security threats, outages, or performance issues before they become critical.
Vector search for AI/ML applications
With k-NN Vector Search, you use OpenSearch as a vector database for semantic and hybrid search – the basis for smart natural language applications and the connection of LLMs.
Multi-tier storage for cost optimization
With Hot, UltraWarm and Cold Storage, you can adjust the storage costs according to data age and access. UltraWarm is significantly more cost-effective for historical data, making it ideal for long-term log archiving.

Frequently Asked Questions About OpenSearch
What is Opensearch?
OpenSearch is an open source search and analysis platform that emerged from the spin-off of Elasticsearch and Kibana by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It enables the search, analysis and visualization of large amounts of data in real time and is often used for log management, monitoring and other data-driven use cases. OpenSearch offers similar functions to Elasticsearch, but is completely open source and available without commercial restrictions.
How does OpenSearch work?
OpenSearch works by storing data in indexes, which can then be searched and queried using a powerful search and analysis engine. It uses a distributed architecture in which data is distributed across several nodes to increase both processing speed and reliability. Users can index data in real time, perform complex search queries and visualize the results in dashboards to gain valuable insights from large amounts of data.
What can I use OpenSearch for?
OpenSearch can be used to efficiently search, analyze and visualize large amounts of data in real time, making it ideal for use cases such as log management, monitoring and security analysis. Companies often use it to gain insights into system and application metrics and to identify and resolve problems more quickly. In addition, OpenSearch can be used to create custom search applications that process and query data from various sources.
What does OpenSearch cost?
OpenSearch ist als Open-Source-Projekt kostenlos verfügbar, sodass es ohne Lizenzgebühren genutzt werden kann. Die Software selbst kann eigenständig auf lokalen Servern oder in Cloud-Umgebungen betrieben werden, ohne direkte Kosten.
Is Amazon OpenSearch Elasticsearch?
Amazon OpenSearch is a fork of Elasticsearch, which was created after Elastic changed its license. OpenSearch is based on an earlier version of Elasticsearch and shares many of the features, but is developed independently and offered under a fully open license. While both platforms offer similar search and analytics capabilities, OpenSearch is specifically developed and supported by AWS, while Elasticsearch is developed by Elastic.
Are OpenSearch and Elasticsearch the same thing?
OpenSearch and Elasticsearch are not the same, but they have common roots, as OpenSearch was created as a fork of Elasticsearch before Elasticsearch changed its license. Both offer similar search and analysis functions, but differ in terms of licensing, further development and the ecosystem. While Elasticsearch is developed by Elastic, OpenSearch is a fully open source project supported by AWS and the community.
