Logstash 7.16.2 plugin with Opensearch 1.3

[guillermocol]

Hi community,
I was reading about this logstash plugin and looks exciting. Just I was having some questions about the installation and the compatibility.
At the moment, I am using Opensearch 1.3.0 and opensearchproject/logstash-with-opensearch-output-plugin:7.16.2 that together work, but if we want to collect logs from Cloudwatch is not enough.
Does this plugin work with this kind of architecture? Does support Opensearch images instead of a Elasticsearch image?

Also I have read something about compatibilities that logstash has to be 1.17 or newer?

A final question would be that this code has to be copied to the logstash container and to install it in there?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Do you think is better to ask with a bit more details?

Thank you for your help

Hi @guillermocol,
I'm running logstash-with-opensearch-output-plugin:7.16.2 with plugin installed in a pair of ECS Containers.
RUN cd && ./bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-input-cloudwatch_logs

40 gigs of logs indexed so far - no issues. There was no need to enable compatability mode on opensearch cluster side.
