OpenSearch data source

The OpenSearch data source plugin lets you query and visualize data from OpenSearch and Amazon OpenSearch Service in Grafana. You can build queries using Lucene or Piped Processing Language (PPL), visualize logs, metrics, and traces, and create annotations from OpenSearch data. The plugin also supports AWS Signature Version 4 (SigV4) authentication for Amazon OpenSearch Service and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless.
