- OpenSearch managed domains (public or VPC)
- OpenSearch Serverless collections
- Amazon CloudWatch Logs (via direct query)
- Amazon Security Lake (via direct query)
- Amazon S3 (via direct query)
What query languages are supported?
PPL (Piped Processing Language), SQL, DQL (Dashboards Query Language), and Lucene. See the Query Language Guide for examples.
How many applications can I create?
Default quota is 10 applications per account per region. Request an increase via AWS Service Quotas.
Can I use OpenSearch UI with VPC domains?
