# Elasticsearch and OpenSearch Integration Use this article when configuring or maintaining AIQ integrations that send, read, or validate data through Elasticsearch or OpenSearch. ## What changed in this article - Normalized the title spacing and clarified that both Elasticsearch and OpenSearch may be in scope. - Added checks for endpoint ownership, version compatibility, authentication, index naming, retention, TLS, network access, and query validation. - Added guidance to avoid logging credentials or sensitive indexed data in AIQ outputs. ## Validation workflow 1. Confirm whether the environment uses Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, or a compatible managed service. 2. Validate endpoint URL, TLS, authentication, index pattern, permissions, and network reachability. 3. Run a controlled query or write test and verify results without exposing sensitive data. **Review note:** This page now focuses on safe integration maintenance rather than a bare product-name reference. --- Last updated: October 2, 2026 If you have feedback on this topic, contact .
