| 17 | +# OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +This section contains documentation for OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +## Getting started |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +- [Intro to OpenSearch]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/about/intro/) |
| 24 | +- [Quickstart]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/quickstart/) |
| 25 | +- [Install OpenSearch]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/install-and-configure/install-opensearch/index/) |

| 27 | +- [See the FAQ](https://opensearch.org/faq) |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## Why use OpenSearch? |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +With OpenSearch, you can perform the following use cases: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +<table style="table-layout: auto ; width: 100%;"> |
| 34 | +<tbody> |
| 35 | +<tr style="text-align: center; vertical-align:center;"> |
| 36 | +<td><img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/1_search.png" class="no-border" alt="Fast, scalable full-text search" height="100"/></td> |
| 37 | +<td><img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/2_monitoring.png" class="no-border" alt="Application and infrastructure monitoring" height="100"/></td> |
| 38 | +<td><img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/3_security.png" class="no-border" alt="Security and event information management" height="100"/></td> |
| 39 | +<td><img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/4_tracking.png" class="no-border" alt="Operational health tracking" height="100"/></td> |
| 40 | +</tr> |
| 41 | +<tr style="text-align: left; vertical-align:top; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0,59,92)"> |
| 42 | +<td>Fast, Scalable Full-text Search</td> |
| 43 | +<td>Application and Infrastructure Monitoring</td> |
| 44 | +<td>Security and Event Information Management</td> |
| 45 | +<td>Operational Health Tracking</td> |
| 46 | +</tr> |
| 47 | +<tr style="text-align: left; vertical-align:top;"> |
| 48 | +<td>Help users find the right information within your application, website, or data lake catalog. </td> |
| 49 | +<td>Easily store and analyze log data, and set automated alerts for underperformance.</td> |
| 50 | +<td>Centralize logs to enable real-time security monitoring and forensic analysis.</td> |
| 51 | +<td>Use observability logs, metrics, and traces to monitor your applications and business in real time.</td> |
| 52 | +</tr> |
| 53 | +</tbody> |
| 54 | +</table> |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +**Additional features and plugins:** |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +OpenSearch has several features and plugins to help index, secure, monitor, and analyze your data. Most OpenSearch plugins have corresponding OpenSearch Dashboards plugins that provide a convenient, unified user interface. |
| 59 | +- [Anomaly detection]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/monitoring-plugins/ad/) - Identify atypical data and receive automatic notifications |
| 60 | +- [KNN]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/knn/) - Find “nearest neighbors” in your vector data |
| 61 | +- [Performance Analyzer]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/monitoring-plugins/pa/) - Monitor and optimize your cluster |
| 62 | +- [SQL]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/sql/index/) - Use SQL or a piped processing language to query your data |
| 63 | +- [Index State Management]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/im-plugin/) - Automate index operations |
| 64 | +- [ML Commons plugin]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/ml-commons-plugin/index/) - Train and execute machine-learning models |
| 65 | +- [Asynchronous search]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/async/) - Run search requests in the background |
| 66 | +- [Cross-cluster replication]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/replication-plugin/index/) - Replicate your data across multiple OpenSearch clusters |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +## The secure path forward |
| 70 | +OpenSearch includes a demo configuration so that you can get up and running quickly, but before using OpenSearch in a production environment, you must [configure the Security plugin manually]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/security/configuration/index/) with your own certificates, authentication method, users, and passwords. |
