Hi everyone,  
I want to build a pipeline(log analyze). Application has been developed by another team. And I’am building opensearch cluster.  
Here is my question.  
Their elasticsearch driver can connect my opensearch cluster ?  
Or they should use opensearch official driver ?

Regards

Hi @Muammer - I wouldn’t suggest mixing the two. If you’re going to be interacting with an OpenSearch cluster, it’s best to use OpenSearch plugins.
