Hello,
out of curiosity I managed to install opensearch 1.3.19 as a cluster with 4 nodes.
I would like to do some CRUD operations in it.
How do I do it?
Do I need to install some other tools (like opensearch-dashboard)?
Also opensearch dashboard must be installed on a node or can be installed on a client?
Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi @CuriousGuy,
You should be able to CRUD your way around out of the box, just make sure your user has enough permissions: [Permissions - OpenSearch Documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/security/access-control/permissions/)
When it comes to the OpenSearch Dashboard, you install it separately and configure it to communicate with your cluster, just make sure the OS and OSD versions are compatible.

Let me know if you have more specific questions.

Thanks for the reply!
I don’t know, in mongodb there is mongo shell, in opensearch how do I perform crud operations?
For now i followed

But still I have no clue on how to insert and update data.

@CuriousGuy, you could use the “Dev Tool” available in your OpenSearch Dashboards or CURL for HTTP methods, i.e.:
sample to create an index here: [Create index - OpenSearch Documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/index-apis/create-index/#example-request)
more REST API references here: [REST API reference - OpenSearch Documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/)
A more common approach would be using:
**Logstash**
**Beats**
**OpenSearch Data Prepper**
**OpenSearch Ingest Pipelines**
**Kinesis Data Firehose**
**etc…**
Best,

Hello @Mantas and thank you again.
I tried installing opensearch dashboard to use dev tool but now I have an error accessing it:
http:// 10.17.60.71:5601 /
OpenSearch Dashboards server is not ready yet
Here is my setup:

on node 10.17.60.71 i installed opensearch-dashboard 1.13.19
but when I try to access it it says
OpenSearch Dashboards server is not ready yet
I disabled https for opensearch and opensearch-dashboards
The configuration file /etc/opensearch-dashboards/opensearch\_dashboards.yml
has everything to default except:

Hi @CuriousGuy,
I’ve noticed that you are CURL(ing) **HTTP** but in your opensearch\_dashboards.yml `opensearch.hosts: [https://10.17.60.71:9200]` **HTTPS** could you test with:
`opensearch.hosts: [http://10.17.60.71:9200]`
Best,
