Connect to OpenSearch

When establishing a connection to an OpenSearch data store, make sure you:

1. Specify the connection string in the following format:

   Protocol	Connection String Format	Example
   HTTP/HTTPS	<schema>://<host1>:<port1>,...,<hostN>:<postN>/<prefix>	http://ip-10-2-2-241.ec2.internal:80/es
   Transport/Transports	<schema>://<host1>:<port1>,...,<hostN>:<portN>	transports://10.2.2.2:9010,10.2.2.3:9010

   where <schema> is the protocol that you want to use:

• http or https (with SSL support)

• transport or transports (with SSL support)

Bear in mind that you must specify the hosts within one cluster.

2. Specify your OpenSearch cluster name.

3. If required, specify your OpenSearch User Name and Password.

4. Select Validate to confirm your connection.

To connect to your OpenSearch cluster and data set secured by X-Pack, see .

Important: If you are connecting to OpenSearch versions earlier than 2.x, use the Elasticsearch 7 connector.

Connect to OpenSearch with a Configured Custom Certificate

If your OpenSearch cluster is configured with a custom certificate, you should configure a truststore for the Elasticsearch connector.

Connect to an OpenSearch data store with a configured custom certificate

1. Copy a truststore to the machine on which the OpenSearch connector is running.

2. Add the following lines to file the appropriate OpenSearch jvm file.

   • For Linux: /etc/zoomdata/edc-OpenSearch.jvm. Copy these files from the /opt/zoomdata/conf directory if a copy is not in /etc/zoomdata/.

   • For Windows: , <install-path>/edc-OpenSearch.jvm. Copy these files from the <install-path>/conf directory if a copy is not in <install-path>.

   -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=<path_to_truststore>
   -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=<truststore_password>

   Replace:

   • <path_to_truststore> with an absolute path to your truststore

   • <truststore_password> with a password for your truststore
