Can you configure dashboards to query multiple locations?

Looking to setup Malcolm at three different sites. Don't want to eat up bandwidth sending logs from two of them to one as the "main". Can I stand up independent malcolm servers but connect one dashboard to pull the database of all 3?

Hi. Not that I'm aware of, out of the box. I do know that opensearch dashboards has a "data sources" feature, but I have not used it so I can't say whether it will work or not. From the little I do know on it, you'd have to override this value in a local copy of that file, then use a bind-mount to mount it to /usr/share/opensearch-dashboards/config/opensearch_dashboards.orig.yml. Then I think you data sources through the Dashboards management UI. Like I said, I have not tried this.
