I am currently using logstash 7.10. Is there any documentation on how to use data prepper. I have several logstash config files that have multiple conditionals for destination index name patterns.

You can try the official OpenSearch docs, there’s a section for [Data Prepper](https://opensearch.org/docs/1.2/clients/data-prepper/index/).  
There’s also more elaborate material on the respective [repo](https://github.com/opensearch-project/data-prepper/tree/main/docs). For example [logstash\_migration\_guide](https://github.com/opensearch-project/data-prepper/blob/main/docs/logstash_migration_guide.md) may be of interest to you.
