Reference implementation
The reference implementation of OpenSearch Dashboards observability lives in the
otel/opensearch/ directory: the OpenTelemetry Collector configuration
(otel-config.yml) plus Data Prepper pipelines and SS4O (AWS Solutions for
Observability) index templates.
These settings are consumed by the compose-opensearch.yml file, which starts the
application with the full stack — OpenTelemetry Collector, Data Prepper,
OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards.
Run it and open the dashboards (see Running the Application):
docker compose -f compose-opensearch.yml up --build- OpenSearch Dashboards: http://localhost:5601
- The app's API: http://localhost:18000/docs
What to look at: OpenTelemetry traces of agent interactions (HTTP → LLM calls → database), service metrics, and logs routed through the Data Prepper pipelines. What gets instrumented and why: the Observability guide.
Note: this implementation is just a reference. For a real production scenario, take privacy and security settings into account — authentication, authorization and encryption.
