Why teams connect OpenSearch and Sysaid

Mirror Sysaid's data into OpenSearch so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Sysaid through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in OpenSearch.

Stacksync mirrors Custom Fields, Incidents, Service Requests, Problems from Sysaid into Documents, Index aliases, Index templates, Ingest pipelines in OpenSearch and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Sysaid, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync Incidents and Service Requests with a Postgres database so on-call and internal apps read and update tickets in SQL while agents keep working in SysAid.
  • 02 Create SysAid Incidents from monitoring or error-tracking alerts, then write status and resolution back so both systems stay aligned.
  • 03 Keep Postgres as the source of truth while mirroring rows to OpenSearch for full-text and vector queries.
  • 04 Index support tickets and activity logs from SaaS tools for operational dashboards.

Common sync patterns

Read Sysaid with a query

Records from Sysaid are ordinary rows in OpenSearch; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Sysaid from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in OpenSearch and Stacksync propagates the change into Sysaid, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Sysaid arrive as row changes in OpenSearch, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between OpenSearch and Sysaid

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

OpenSearch objects Sysaid objects How this pairing syncs
Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Index aliases is specific to OpenSearch and Service Requests to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates Problems Root-cause records that group related incidents; read and written to keep problem management aligned with an external ITSM or reporting store. Index templates is specific to OpenSearch and Problems to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written Changes Change records (type=change) with approval and scheduling fields; synced two-way to drive CAB review and deployment workflows. Ingest pipelines is specific to OpenSearch and Changes to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems Users End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Data streams is specific to OpenSearch and Users to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository Assets Hardware and software inventory; read out to a warehouse or written from a discovery or CMDB source of truth. Snapshots is specific to OpenSearch and Assets to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings Configuration Items (CIs) CMDB entries and their relationships; synced with an external CMDB or asset database for one inventory view. Indexes is specific to OpenSearch and Configuration Items (CIs) to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between OpenSearch and Sysaid

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

OpenSearch Sysaid Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls OpenSearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native change feed.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Sysaid through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Sysaid OpenSearch Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to OpenSearch through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • OpenSearch: Throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

How the OpenSearch and Sysaid connectors work

OpenSearch

Integration surface
REST API over HTTP(S) with JSON payloads
Authentication
basic authentication with the security plugin, or AWS IAM request signing on Amazon OpenSearch Service

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
