Overview

The OpenSearch Provider offers native integration with Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, allowing Keep users to query, monitor, and write documents in real-time. This supports observability and event-driven alerting for operational and security use cases.

​
Key Features:

  • Read & Write Support: Enables both querying and writing documents to OpenSearch Serverless collections.
  • AWS IAM Authentication: Authenticates using AWS IAM credentials (access key/secret or instance role).

​
Connecting with the Provider

To connect OpenSearch with Keep, you’ll need:
  • An AWS account with permissions for OpenSearch Serverless (AOSS).
  • A configured collection and index in AOSS.
  • AWS IAM credentials (permanent or temporary).

​
Required AWS IAM Permissions (Scopes)

To function properly, the OpenSearch provider requires the following IAM scopes:

    • Alias: Needed to test the access for next 3 scopes.
    • Mandatory: Yes
  • aoss:APIAccessAll
