Get access to the dashboard ¶

Each OpenSearch instance in Aiven comes with a built-in dashboard for visualizing your data. To get access to this dashboard you need to follow these steps:

Prerequisites ¶

For production services, you need to have the aiven-prod gateway enabled in Naisdevice. This is done through Just In Time Access (JITA).

Steps ¶

1. Create a personal service account ¶

Create a personal temporary Aiven service account using nais-cli:

shell

nais aiven create opensearch \
    <username> \
    <team> \
    --access <access-level> \
    --instance <name-of-instance>

where

<username> is a descriptive name for the service account, e.g. your name.
<team> is the name of the team that owns the OpenSearch instance.
<access-level> is one of the available access levels, such as read.
<name-of-instance> is the name of the OpenSearch instance you want to access. A list of your team's instances can be found in Nais Console. If the name of the instance is prefixed with opensearch-<team>-, you must exclude this prefix when passing it to this command.

2. Retrieve credentials for service account ¶

Retrieve the dashboard URI, username, and password for the service account you just created:

shell

nais aiven get opensearch \
    <secret-name> \
    <namespace>

where <secret-name> is the name of the Kubernetes secret created in the previous step.
