Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports new administrative options that provide more granular control over troubleshooting potential issues with your cluster. These options include the ability to restart the OpenSearch process on a node, and the ability to restart a data node.
Amazon OpenSearch Service monitors key health parameters of nodes for anomalies and takes corrective actions to help clusters remain stable. Expert users of OpenSearch Service have indicated interest in more control over some of these automated mitigation actions. With the new administrative options to restart the OpenSearch process on a node, and the ability to restart a node, customers have more control , if and when required. Customers can trigger these actions using the AWS Console, command line interface (CLI), or the AWS software development kit (AWS SDK).
The new administrative options are supported for all OpenSearch Service clusters running OpenSearch version or Elasticsearch versions 7.0 and above. They are available in all AWS regions globally where Amazon OpenSearch Service is available. Please refer to the AWS Region Table for more information about Amazon OpenSearch Service availability.
For more information on the new administrative options, please see documentation.
