I’m curious is it possible to configure OpenSearch Dashboard to work with a couple of OpenSearch clusters?
If not is there a plan to support such functionality?

Hello @andrii!
Yes it should be possible. In your opensearch_dashboards.yml you will just need to set
opensearch.hosts: ["http://host1", "http://host2"]
Or if you use docker here’s in example:
I don’t think opensearch.hosts affords endpoints from multiple different clusters. Only the same cluster. (Right?)
I believe @andrii is asking about how to use remote cross-search connections, and designing a hub-and-spoke model around that. The idea is you’d have a small cluster only used for Dashboards to connect to, and that small central cluster would have cross-search connections to various clusters where your data actually lives. All your Index Patterns would be prefixed with the applicable storage cluster name. Like cluster1:my-index-family-*, etc.

@andrii just for you information.
we have release multiple datasource feature to support what you looking for. It is more easy way to setup and use than configure cross-cluster search
