Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion

Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion is a fully managed, serverless data collector that delivers real-time log, metric, and trace data to Amazon OpenSearch Service domains and OpenSearch Serverless collections.

With OpenSearch Ingestion, you no longer need to use third-party solutions like Logstash or Jaeger to ingest data into your OpenSearch Service domains and OpenSearch Serverless collections. You configure your data producers to send data to OpenSearch Ingestion. Then, it automatically delivers the data to the domain or collection that you specify. You can also configure OpenSearch Ingestion to transform your data before delivering it.

Also, with OpenSearch Ingestion, you don't need to worry about provisioning servers, managing and patching software, or scaling your cluster of servers. You provision ingestion pipelines directly within the AWS Management Console, and OpenSearch Ingestion takes care of managing and scaling them.

OpenSearch Ingestion is a subset of Amazon OpenSearch Service. It's powered by Data Prepper, which is an open source data collector that can filter, enrich, transform, normalize, and aggregate data for downstream analysis and visualization.

Supported Data Prepper versions

OpenSearch Ingestion currently supports the following major versions of Data Prepper:

• 2.x

When you create a pipeline, use the required version option to specify the major version of Data Prepper to use. For example, version: "2". OpenSearch Ingestion retrieves the latest supported minor version of that major version and provisions the pipeline with that version. For more information, see Specifying the pipeline version.

Currently, OpenSearch Ingestion pipelines are provisioned with version 2.7 of Data Prepper. For information, see the 2.7 release notes. For information about the features and bug fixes that are in each version of Data Prepper, see the Releases page. Not every minor version of a particular major version is supported by OpenSearch Ingestion.

When you update a pipeline's YAML configuration file, if there's support for a new minor version of Data Prepper, OpenSearch Ingestion automatically upgrades the pipeline to the latest supported minor version of the major version that's specified in the pipeline configuration. For example, you might have version: "2" in your pipeline configuration, and OpenSearch Ingestion initially provisioned the pipeline with version 2.6.0. When support for version 2.7.0 is added, and you make a change to the pipeline configuration, OpenSearch Ingestion upgrades the pipeline to version 2.7.0. This process keeps your pipeline up to date with the latest bug fixes and performance improvements. OpenSearch Ingestion can't update the major version of your pipeline unless you manually change the version option within the pipeline configuration. For more information, see Updating Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion pipelines.

OpenSearch Ingestion pricing

At any specific time, you only pay for the number of Ingestion OCUs that are allocated to a pipeline, regardless of whether there's data flowing through the pipeline. OpenSearch Ingestion immediately accommodates your workloads by scaling pipeline capacity up or down based on usage.

For full pricing details, see Amazon OpenSearch Service pricing.
