How is indexing done in multiple tenants? So far what I observe is after creating a new tenant I don’t see any separate index which is created, which index stored all the data like roles, tenants, etc. information?. Is there any way to achieve a separate index for each tenant or not?

@mann

Could you share your config.yaml and kibana.yaml files?

Sorry, but I didn’t see these files in my Opensearch and Opensearch-dashboard folder -

Do you mean opensearch.yml and opensearch-dashboard.yml?
