Limitations of Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion - Amazon OpenSearch Service
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Limitations of Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion

OpenSearch Ingestion has the following limitations:

  • You can only ingest data into domains running OpenSearch 1.0 or later, or Elasticsearch 6.8 or later. If you're using the OTel trace source, we recommend using Elasticsearch 7.9 or later so that you can use the OpenSearch Dashboards plugin.

  • If a pipeline is writing to an OpenSearch Service domain that's within a VPC, the pipeline must be created in the same Amazon Web Services Region as the domain.

  • You can only configure a single data source within a pipeline definition.

  • You can't specify self-managed OpenSearch clusters as sinks.

  • You can't specify a custom endpoint as a sink. You can still write to a domain that has custom endpoints enabled, but you must specify its standard endpoint.

  • You can't specify resources within opt-in Regions as sources or sinks.

  • There are some constraints on the parameters that you can include in a pipeline configuration. For more information, see Configuration requirements and constraints.
