In the ChaosSearch design, object groups are an important and required part of the ChaosSearch configuration. They are virtual buckets that specify and organize the objects that your users want to index and analyze. They are the first of two resources (the other being views) that make up the ChaosSearch ingestion pipeline.

The result of an object group is the creation of Chaos Index data—the highly compressed, lossless, full representation of those cloud-storage objects. Chaos Index supports multi-model query access (i.e., Search, SQL, and GenAI).

In the ChaosSearch console, use the Storage tab for creating and managing your object groups and indexing. Use Storage to review your cloud storage buckets and their contents, and define object groups to filter and index those object files. You can also manage object groups using the ChaosSearch API and the ChaosSearch Terraform Provider.

Review these topics to learn more about creating object groups and the options for data filtering and field selection, managing the indexing options, and setting up Live Indexing to automatically index new objects as they are pushed to your storage buckets.
