How is the consumption of resources related to the number of agents that we deploy in our organizations calculated?

Is there a formula to be able to have an approximate amount of resources needed for each agent that will send logs to the elastic server for a 90-day event retention?

TLDR: No, as this is completely dependent on the amount of integrations enabled and how "active" your environment is.

Long story: you can do some estimation based on experience and the following resources might help:
