OpenSearch Dashboards is a visualization and user interface tool that is typically used in conjunction with OpenSearch, an open-source search and analytics engine.

1. Data Visualization: With OpenSearch Dashboards, users may generate a wide range of visuals to aid in data analysis and comprehension, including graphs, charts, and maps. Dashboards that are configurable allow users to explore and engage with data.

2. Dashboard Creation: Custom dashboards that compile and show data from OpenSearch indexes may be designed and used by users. Dashboards are helpful for tracking important performance indicators, trends, and metrics in real time.
