Centralized Logging with OpenSearch
Overview
Centralized Logging with OpenSearch provides a robust solution for aggregating, processing, and visualizing log data across diverse sources using Amazon OpenSearch Service. This AWS solution includes a web-based management console that simplifies the creation of log ingestion pipelines through an intuitive interface.
The log ingestion pipelines support key functionalities, such as deploying log collection agents, enriching log data without requiring custom code, implementing a buffering layer for scalable log processing, and configuring OpenSearch indices to optimize search and analytics performance. Once ingested, logs are stored in the OpenSearch Service, where pre-configured dashboards are automatically generated to facilitate the analysis of AWS service logs and application logs, including formats like Nginx, JSON, and Spring Boot.
By leveraging integration with other AWS services, this solution delivers a fully managed, scalable environment for centralized logging, enabling organizations to efficiently monitor and analyze their AWS applications and infrastructure.
