All Opensearch Domains Statcard

Overview

The All Opensearch Domains Statcard provides a comprehensive summary of all Opensearch domains in the environment. It is a vital resource for IT Operations (IT Ops) and Security Operations (Sec Ops) engineers to monitor domain presence, ensure optimal configuration, and maintain overall system security.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Centralized Resource Management:

   • Offers a single view of all Opensearch domains, streamlining inventory management and operational oversight.

   • Assists in understanding resource distribution and planning for scaling or reallocation.

2. Operational Efficiency:

   • Saves time by consolidating critical information in one place, eliminating the need for manual checks across multiple systems.

3. Resource Utilization Insights:

   • Helps monitor resource utilization trends, ensuring optimal performance and reducing unnecessary costs.

For Security Engineers:

1. Risk Identification:

   • Highlights all active domains, ensuring no unnoticed or unauthorized domains are operating within the environment.

   • Supports quick evaluation of potential vulnerabilities, such as misconfigured or publicly accessible domains.

2. Change Monitoring:

   • Detects unexpected changes in domain counts, helping flag suspicious activities or unauthorized deployments.

3. Security Policy Enforcement:

   • Ensures all domains comply with security best practices, such as restricted access and proper configurations.
