OpenSearch PPL Language Support and Sample Queries

Writing PPL queries in the Grafana OpenSearch plugin just got easier with syntax highlighting, suggestions and sample queries.

The PPL query editor now contains a multi-line box which supports syntax highlighting, PPL keywords and commands suggestions, and index fields. To see the new features in action, select PPL in the Query type dropdown of the query editor and start typing. Specify index name(s) in the datasource configuration to narrow down the list of suggested index fields.

We have also added a “Kickstart your query” button to the PPL query editor, which contains useful sample queries. Select a query to copy it to the query editor and edit it further.

For more information on PPL syntax and supported commands, refer to AWS OpenSearch documentation for PPL language.

PPL language support is available from plugin version 2.31.0.
