OpenSearch-Snap

This is the snap for OpenSearch, a community-driven, Apache 2.0-licensed open source search and analytics suite that makes it easy to ingest, search, visualize, and analyze data.

Installation:

or:

sudo snap install opensearch --channel=2/candidate
sudo snap connect opensearch:process-control

Environment configuration:

OpenSearch has a set of pre-requisites to function properly, they can be set as follows:

sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=0
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_retries2=5

Starting OpenSearch:

Creating certificates:

# create the certificates
sudo snap run opensearch.setup          \
    --node-name cm0                     \
    --node-roles cluster_manager,data   \
    --tls-priv-key-root-pass root1234   \
    --tls-priv-key-admin-pass admin1234 \
    --tls-priv-key-node-pass node1234   \
    --tls-init-setup yes    # this creates the root and admin certs as well.

Starting OpenSearch:

sudo snap start opensearch.daemon

Creating the Security Index:

sudo snap run opensearch.security-init --tls-priv-key-admin-pass=admin1234

Testing the OpenSearch setup:

You can either consume the REST API yourself or see if the below commands succeed, and you see that the tests "PASSED" successfully:

# Check if cluster is healthy (green):
sudo snap run opensearch.test-cluster-health-green
> ....
> PASSED


# Check if node is up:
sudo snap run opensearch.test-node-up
> ....
> PASSED


# Check if the security index is well initialised:
sudo snap run opensearch.test-security-index-created
> ....
> PASSED

or:

sudo cp /var/snap/opensearch/current/config/certificates/node-cm0.pem ./
curl --cacert node-cm0.pem -XGET https://admin:admin@localhost:9200/_cluster/health
