Limitations
As Scalingo for OpenSearch® is a fully managed service, we enforce certain operational limits and usage policies to maintain reliability and security for all users.
Affecting User Management
-
Because the
opensearch-security
plugin is not exposed, Scalingo for OpenSearch® currently only supports a single reserved user. -
As a consequence, creating additional users is not yet possible.
Affecting Backups and Restorations
-
Backups are fully managed by Scalingo. While you can create and restore backups, downloading them is not possible.
-
Consequently, restoring a Scheduled or Manual backup is only available from the database dashboard.
Affecting Features
-
OpenSearch® plugins can’t be added, modified, nor removed.
-
Because the
opensearch-security
plugin is not exposed, some features and plugins may behave differently than expected. Please refer to the official documentation for further help. -
Remote and cross-cluster replication features are not supported, since this would require custom configurations at the instances level.
-
The reserved user provided by Scalingo has a limited access to the OpenSearch® APIs. These APIs are forbidden:
Timeouts
Scalingo for OpenSearch addons have, depending on the plan, one or two HAProxy instances as entry point. These HAProxy instances have a few timeouts configured which may impact your application, especially when reusing connections.
Context | Timeout |
---|---|
Client is inactive | 1 minute |
Server is inactive | 2 minutes |
Maximum allowed time to wait for a complete HTTP request | 5 seconds |
