    Automated the creation of the default OpenSearch Dashboards
    index pattern. During deployment or reconfiguration, Kolla
    Ansible now automatically provisions an index pattern based
    on the ``opensearch_log_index_prefix`` (defaulting to
    ``flog-*``) with ``@timestamp`` configured as the time field.
    This removes the need for operators to manually configure the
    initial index pattern upon their first login to the Dashboards
    UI.
