Migrating from Open Distro

Existing users can migrate from the Open Distro Data Prepper to OpenSearch Data Prepper. Beginning with Data Prepper version 1.1, there is only one distribution of OpenSearch Data Prepper.

Change your pipeline configuration

The elasticsearch sink has changed to opensearch. Therefore, change your existing pipeline to use the opensearch plugin instead of elasticsearch.

While the Data Prepper plugin is titled opensearch, it remains compatible with Open Distro and ElasticSearch 7.x.

Update Docker image

In your Data Prepper Docker configuration, adjust amazon/opendistro-for-elasticsearch-data-prepper to opensearchproject/data-prepper. This change will download the latest Data Prepper Docker image.
