View OpenSearch Dashboards¶

Using the OpenSearch Dashboards web UI, you can view the visual representation of logs, Kubernetes events, and other cluster notifications related to your deployment.

To view OpenSearch Dashboards:

Click the required dashboard to inspect the visualizations or perform a search:

Dashboard	Description
K8s events	Provides visualizations on the number of Kubernetes events per type, and top event-producing resources and namespaces by reason and event type. Includes search.
System Logs	Available for clusters created since Container Cloud 2.26.0 (Cluster releases 17.1.x, 16.1.x, or later). Provides visualizations on the number of log messages per severity, source, and top log-producing host, namespaces, containers, and applications. Includes search. Caution Due to a known issue, this dashboard does not exist in Container Cloud 2.26.0 (Cluster releases 17.1.0 and 16.1.0). The issue is addressed in Container Cloud 2.26.1 (Cluster releases 17.1.1 and 16.1.1). To work around the issue in 2.26.0, you can map the fields of the `logstash` index to the `system` one and view logs in the deprecated Logs dashboard. For mapping details, see System index fields mapped to Logstash index fields.
Logs ^{Deprecated in 2.26.0}	Available only for clusters created before Container Cloud 2.26.0 (Cluster releases 17.0.x, 16.0.x, or earlier). Analogous to System Logs but contains logs generated only for the mentioned Cluster releases.
