Real-Time Test Results in Robot Framework

No more waiting for the suite to finish to find out what failed. Introduction In a previous organisation, a proof of concept was built to stream Robot Framework test results into a live monitoring dashboard using the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana). The idea was simple: instead of waiting for the full run to complete and then reading the output report, results would appear in a dashboard the moment each test finished. The problem with ELK is that it is no longer fully open source. Elastic changed its licensing in 2021. OpenSearch is the community fork that stayed open. This project is a rebuild of that original setup using OpenSearch, with the same goal: live test visibility while the suite is still running. The approach works with any test framework that exposes hooks into the test lifecycle. Robot Framework is used here because that is where the original work was done, but the same pattern applies to pytest, Selenium, and others. The Problem When a test suite runs, re
