OpenSearch

Connecting Hawkeye to your OpenSearch account allows us to collect application and infrastructure telemetry, which includes metrics, traces, and logs. These telemetry data enable real-time monitoring and alerting through the Hawkeye dashboard.

To ensure an easy connection with Hawkeye, you will authenticate using an OpenSearch Username, Password, and API Key.
