Update the OpenSearch settings in your SearchBlox installation and then restart the SearchBlox service as shown below.

1. Edit the file \<SEARCHBLOX\_INSTALLATION\_PATH>/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/searchblox.yml to update the opensearch url endpoint, username and password. Here we provided a sample searchblox.yml configuration below:\
   `searchblox.deployment.type:<Empty>`\
   `searchblox.elasticsearch.host: xxxxx-azure.es.eastus2.azure.elastic-cloud.com`\
   `searchblox.elasticsearch.port: 9243`\
   `searchblox.elasticsearch.basic.username: elastic`\
   `searchblox.elasticsearch.basic.password: Ue7Dl5RElANBRgqHviMRdXXX`

2. After saving the configuration file, restart the SearchBlox service and wait at least 30 seconds for it to fully initialize before accessing[SearchBlox Admin Console](https://developer.searchblox.com/docs/overview).
