Hello all,

Could you please help me on this.

I am quite new to the Elasticsearch ocean.

My requirement is, I need to send data from .log file to AWS opensearch. Whether the below option will work for me.

- Download the Logstash 7.16.3 from official elasticsearch site ([Download Logstash Free | Get Started Now | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/logstash))and install on RHEL server.

- Use the following command to install the plugin:

Since the output plugin opensearch is not by default available with Logstash. The manual installation will help me for sending the data to the opensearch?

Or i have to forcefully choose the following option download “Logstash OSS with OpenSearch Output Plugin” from the website ([Opensearch 2.11.1 · OpenSearch](https://opensearch.org/downloads.html)).  
which have a pre loaded opensearch output plugin.

What is the maximum Logstash version supports for opensearch for below condition.

1. Logstash downloaded from official elasticsearch site ([Download Logstash Free | Get Started Now | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/logstash))

Since the version we download from OpenSearch’s website is 8.9.0: `logstash-oss-with-opensearch-output-plugin-8.9.0-linux-x64.tar`, so the latest version of Logstash which is 8.11 may also support OpenSearch, the difference between the minor versions maybe small.
