AWS Elasticsearch / Opensearch - 获取正在搜索的内容的指标

Question

I have an instance of Elasticsearch running in AWS OpenSearch. From the documentation I've found online, AWS has something called OpenSearch Dashboards that is essentially their own forked version of Kibana. This can be connected to my Elasticsearch instance to visualize data.

For OpenSearch Dashboards, all of the the guides I've found online deal with how we can visualize patterns in the underlying data (ie. what's the most popular keywords in an index column, etc...) or how we can visualize data about how the Elasticsearch service is running (ie. the CPU usage rate, the indexing rate, etc...).

Is there anyway for me to get statistics on and get visualizations for what's being searched and how often? For example, I would like data on what unique search terms users have typed into our search bar in the past week, the number of times each of those unique terms have been searched, and the number of results each of these searches with that unique term have returned.

Yes, you can get metrics on what's being searched in AWS OpenSearch. To do this, you need to store the search queries and their results in your Elasticsearch instance as log data. You can then visualize this log data using OpenSearch Dashboards or Kibana to see statistics such as the number of unique search terms, the number of times each term has been searched, and the number of results returned for each search query.

To accomplish this, you'll need to write code to extract the relevant information from the log data and then create visualizations based on that data using OpenSearch Dashboards or Kibana.

There is a build-in application for this specific case in Elasticsearch. It's called AppSearch https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/index.html
