+## Using multiple data sources with external dashboards plugins

+
+The following plugins now support multiple data sources
+
+### Index management
+
+When the data source feature is enabled, you can navigate to **Index Management** under the **Management** menu. Using indexes as an example, you can view all connected data sources and select a specific one from the navigation bar on the upper right. By default, the indexes from the designated default data source are displayed. However, you can select any connected data source to view its corresponding indexes. The following GIF illustrates these steps.
+
+<img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/dashboards/ism_mds1.gif" alt="Multiple data sources in ISM list page"/>
+
+To perform operations on a specific index within a data source, select the individual index from the list. To create a new index, select the **Create Index** button, which opens a form. Fill in the required information and select the **Create** button. The index is created within the selected data source. The following GIF illustrates these steps. 
+
+<img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/dashboards/ism_mds2.gif" alt="Multiple data sources in ISM create page"/>
+
+### Anomaly detection
+
+When the data source feature is enabled, you can navigate to **Anomaly Detection** under the **OpenSearch Plugins** menu. On the navigation bar on the upper right, you can view all connected data sources and select a specific data source to view the dashboard from that source if it has detectors. If the selected data source does not have any detectors, the page prompts you to **Create detector**. The following GIF illustrates these steps.
+
+<img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/dashboards/ad_mds1.gif" alt="Multiple data sources in Anomaly Detection dashboard page"/>
+
+When you select **Detectors** from the side bar, the page displays the detectors currently configured for the selected data source. You can view and configure individual detectors by selecting them from the list. The following GIF illustrates these steps.
+
+<img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/dashboards/ad_mds2.gif" alt="Multiple data sources in Anomaly Detection detector page"/>
+
+### Security
+
+When the data source feature is enabled, you can navigate to **Security** under the **Management** menu. Using role management as an example, you can view all connected data sources in the navigation bar on the upper right and select a specific data source to view its existing roles. To create a new role, select the **Create role** button, which takes you to a new page. Enter the required information and select **Create** to add the new role to the selected data source. The following GIF illustrates these steps.

+<img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/dashboards/security_mds1.gif" alt="Multiple data sources in Security plugin"/>
+
+### Maps
+
+When the data source feature is enabled, you can navigate to **Maps** under the **OpenSearch Plugins** menu. To edit an existing map, select it from the maps list page, which opens the edit page. On the edit page, you can view all available data sources and the ones currently used in the map. To add a new layer, select **Add layer**, and then select **Documents** from the prompt, which opens a flyout. In the flyout, select the index pattern and geospatial field. Note that the data source name is prefixed to the index pattern name. After selecting **Update**, the new layer is added. Select the {::nomarkdown}<img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/icons/database-icon.png" class="inline-icon" alt="database icon"/>{:/} icon to verify that a new data source is now being used in the map. The following GIF illustrates these steps.

+
+### Machine learning
+
+When the data source feature is enabled, you can navigate to **Machine Learning** under the **OpenSearch Plugins** menu. Initially, the models within the default data source are displayed. To view models from a different data source, switch to that data source from the navigation bar. To inspect the details of a specific model, select the {::nomarkdown}<img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/icons/inspect-icon.png" class="inline-icon" alt="inspect icon"/>{:/} icon to the right of the model entry. The following GIF illustrates these steps.

+
+### Notifications
+
+When the data source feature is enabled, you can navigate to **Notifications** under the **Management** menu. The page displays the notification channels configured for the currently selected data source. To view channels from a different data source, select the desired data source from the menu. To view or edit the details of an existing channel, select it from the list, which opens the channel details page. The following GIF illustrates these steps.

+<img src="{{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/images/dashboards/notification_mds1.gif" alt="Multiple data sources in Notification plugin"/>
+
+### Search relevance
+
+When the data source feature is enabled, you can navigate to **Search Relevance** under the **OpenSearch Plugins** menu. On the navigation bar on the upper right, you can view all available data sources. To compare search results between indexes from different data sources, first select a data source and an index for **Query 1**, and then select a data source and an index for **Query 2**. Select **Search** to run the queries. The following GIF illustrates these steps.
