Using Dashboards

For guidance on using OpenSearch Dashboards see the documentation here.

Dashboards quickstart guide

Lucenia is compatible with OpenSearch Dashboards. Use the following docker compose and opensearch_dashboards.yml to run OpenSearch Dashboards against a Lucenia cluster. You'll also need a license, instructions for which can be found in this tutorial. The only setting necessary in opensearch_dashboards.yml is ignoring the node version.

opensearch_dashboards.yml:

opensearch.ignoreVersionMismatch: true
opensearch.ssl.verificationMode: none

docker-compose.yml:

services:
  lucenia-node:

      - "LUCENIA_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m" # minimum and maximum Java heap size, recommend setting both to 50% of system RAM
