Is it possible to connect with Logtash to OpenSearch using SAML authentication?  
We are able to integrate with SAML and Azure AD to log in to dashboards but we are unable to connect Logtash to OpenSearch with an Azure AD user.

OpenSearch/OpenDistro are AWS run products and differ from the original Elasticsearch and Kibana products that Elastic builds and maintains. You may need to contact them directly for further assistance.

Hi @Pablo_Crosio

In order to use logstash with opensearch you need to use the opensearch output plugin with logstash.

In order to get guidance on that, you need to visit the opensearch community forum.
