-To start using Aiven for OpenSearch®, the first step is to create a service. You can do this on the [Aiven Console](https://console.aiven.io/) or with the [Aiven CLI](https://github.com/aiven/aiven-client).
+Learn how to use Aiven for OpenSearch®, create a service, secure access, manage indices, and explore your data.
+
+Aiven for OpenSearch® is a fully managed OpenSearch service designed for reliability,
+scalability, and security. It includes OpenSearch Dashboards for data visualization and
+supports integrations for logs and monitoring.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Ensure you have the following before getting started:
+
+- Access to the [Aiven Console](https://console.aiven.io)
+- [Aiven CLI](https://github.com/aiven/aiven-client#installation) installed
+- [Aiven Provider for Terraform](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/aiven/aiven/latest/docs) installed
+- [API token](/docs/platform/howto/create_authentication_token)

+</Tabs>
+
+## Secure access with ACLs
 
-When you create an Aiven for OpenSearch service, you will automatically
-get access to OpenSearch Dashboards. This enables you to visualize data from your
-OpenSearch service.
+Secure your service by using one of the following options:
 
-To access OpenSearch Dashboards:
+- **Access control lists (ACLs)**: Manage access to indices by setting patterns
+  (for example, `logs-*`) and permissions (read, write, or all) in the Aiven Console.
+- **OpenSearch security**: Use OpenSearch Dashboards or APIs for fine-grained access
+  control, including role-based access control (RBAC) and single sign-on (SSO).
 
-1. On the **Overview** page of your Aiven for OpenSearch service, click
-   **OpenSearch Dashboards**.
-1. Copy or click the Service URI to open OpenSearch Dashboards in
-   your browser.
-1. Enter the username and password from the connection information
-   screen when prompted.
-1. Click **Sign In** to view the OpenSearch Dashboards.
+For more information, see
+[Access control in Aiven for OpenSearch®](https://aiven.io/docs/products/opensearch/concepts/access_control).
+
+## Manage indices
+
+Aiven for OpenSearch® lets you view and manage indices and configure index retention
+patterns. For detailed steps on creating and managing indices, see
+the [OpenSearch documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/opensearch/index-data/).
+
+### View and manage indices
+
+1. Open your service in the [Aiven Console](https://console.aiven.io/).
+1. Click <ConsoleLabel name="opensearchindexes" /> to view details such as shards, replicas, size, and health.
+
+### Configure retention patterns
+
+1. In <ConsoleLabel name="opensearchindexes" /> page, scroll to
+   **Index retention patterns**
+1. Click **Add pattern** and define:
+   - **Pattern**: Specify index patterns (for example, `*_logs_*`).
+   - **Maximum index count**: Set the number of indices to retain.
+1. Click **Create** to save.
 
-After logging in, you can explore and interact with your data, as well
-as add sample data and utilize OpenSearch API features.
+For advanced indexing features, including custom mappings, refer to the
+[OpenSearch documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/opensearch/index-data/).
+
+## Access OpenSearch Dashboards
+
+Use OpenSearch Dashboards to visualize and analyze your data.
+
+1. On the <ConsoleLabel name="overview"/> page service in the [Aiven Console](https://console.aiven.io/).

+## Manage logs and monitor data
+
+- **Send logs**: To send logs from Aiven services to OpenSearch, see [Enable log integration](https://aiven.io/docs/products/opensearch/howto/opensearch-log-integration).
+- **Monitor data**: Set up Grafana for monitoring and alerts. See [Integrate with Grafana®](https://aiven.io/docs/products/opensearch/howto/integrate-with-grafana).
+
+
+## Search and aggregations with Aiven for OpenSearch
+
+Aiven for OpenSearch® lets you write and execute search queries, as well as aggregate
+data using OpenSearch clients like Python and Node.js.
+
+### Write search queries
 
-## Connect to OpenSearch
+- **Python**: Learn how to write and run search queries on your Aiven for OpenSearch
+  service using the [Python OpenSearch client](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-py).
+  For more information, see
+  [Search with OpenSearch® and Python](/docs/products/opensearch/howto/opensearch-search-and-python).
+- **Node.js**: Learn how to write and run search queries on your Aiven for OpenSearch
+  service using the [OpenSearch JavaScript client](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-js).
+  For more information, see
+  [Search with OpenSearch® and Node.js](/docs/products/opensearch/howto/opensearch-and-nodejs).
 
-To start working with your data in OpenSearch, connect to your service.
-A good starting point is to learn how to
-[connect with cURL](/docs/products/opensearch/howto/opensearch-with-curl). See the necessary connection details in the
-service overview page.
+### Perform aggregations
 
-If you're new to OpenSearch and looking for inspiration, see our
-[sample dataset](/docs/products/opensearch/howto/sample-dataset),
-which provides a great starting point for exploring the capabilities of
-the platform.
+- **Metric aggregations**: Calculate metrics such as average, minimum, maximum,
+  percentiles, and cardinality on your Aiven for OpenSearch
+  service. or more information, see
+  [Aggregations with OpenSearch® and Node.js](/docs/products/opensearch/howto/opensearch-aggregations-and-nodejs#metrics-aggregations).
+- **Bucket aggregations**: Group data into buckets based on ranges, unique terms, or
+  histograms. or more information, see
+  [Bucket aggregations with OpenSearch®](/docs/products/opensearch/howto/opensearch-aggregations-and-nodejs#bucket-aggregations).
+- **Pipeline aggregations**: Combine results from multiple aggregations, such as
+  calculating moving averages, to analyze trends. Explore examples in
+  [Pipeline aggregations with OpenSearch®](/docs/products/opensearch/howto/opensearch-aggregations-and-nodejs#pipeline-aggregations).
