The error you're encountering indicates a permissions issue where the IAM user does not have the necessary rights to perform operations on Amazon OpenSearch (formerly Elasticsearch). The specific error message [indices:admin/create] suggests that the IAM user requires permissions to create indices in OpenSearch.
Here’s how you can resolve this issue:
- Review IAM Policy Ensure that the IAM user has an attached policy granting the necessary permissions for Amazon OpenSearch. Here is a basic example of an IAM policy that grants permissions to create indices and perform other essential actions: json
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "es:ESHttpGet", "es:ESHttpPut", "es:ESHttpPost", "es:ESHttpDelete", "es:ESHttpHead" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:es:your-region:your-account-id:domain/your-opensearch-domain-name/*" } ] } Note: Replace your-region, your-account-id, and your-opensearch-domain-name with your actual AWS region, AWS account ID, and OpenSearch domain name, respectively.
-
Correct Service Name In your code, ensure that you're using the correct service name when setting up the signing middleware. Previously, you have used es as the signer service name, which corresponds to the older Elasticsearch service name. Since AWS moved to OpenSearch, you might need to adjust this if they update the service context (usually es is still correct, but it's worth confirming with current AWS documentation).
-
Verify Endpoint and Credentials Double-check that the endpoint and credentials in your code are correctly configured. Make sure the endpoint URL is correctly formatted and accessible from the environment where the script runs.
-
Role-Based Access Control in OpenSearch If you are using OpenSearch with fine-grained access control, you might need to assign the proper roles or permissions within the OpenSearch domain itself, apart from what's set in IAM. This could include configuring specific index-level permissions for the user or role.
-
Test Connectivity and Permissions You can test the connectivity and permissions from your local machine or wherever you're running the script using tools like curl or Postman. Here’s an example curl command: bash
curl -XPUT -u "your-access-key-id:your-secret-access-key" "https://your-opensearch-endpoint/_index_name" Replace placeholders with your actual keys and endpoint. This can help verify that the endpoint is correct and the user has proper permissions.
-
Logging and Debugging Add logging to your node application to capture AWS SDK responses or errors. This might provide additional insight into what might be going wrong.
-
Consult AWS Documentation and Support If issues persist after checking these areas, consider consulting AWS documentation or contacting AWS support for more detailed guidance, especially if there might be new changes or updates that affect how IAM and OpenSearch interact.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the permission issues you're facing with your OpenSearch operations.
