Hey

I am setting up data-prepper server on my ec2 instance. I’ve created opensearch cluster in aws managed os service. My docker run command for data prepper is producing error related to missing opensearchsink plugin. Do i need to install opensearch separately on my ec2 machine?

Logs are below:

my pipelines.yaml is:

```auto
entry-pipeline:
  delay: "100"
  source:
    otel_trace_source:
      ssl: false

  sink:
    - pipeline:
        name: "raw-pipeline"

raw-pipeline:
  source:
    pipeline:
      name: "entry-pipeline"
  processor:
    - otel_trace_raw:
    - otel_trace_group:
        hosts: ["https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxh-1.es.amazonaws.com:443"]
        username: "admin"
        password: "admin"
 
  sink:
    - opensearch:
        hosts: ["https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxh-1.es.amazonaws.com:443"]
        aws_sigv4: false
        username: "admin"
        password: "admin"
        trace_analytics_raw: true

```

Let me know where’s the issue.
