Hello  
I am creating a monitoring tool to analyse the logs generated by the applications on offer by my company.  
So the architectural setup should be platformed on what all constraints . As should I go for different vm's for both the forwarders and indexer or should  
i host it on a single vm.

Regards  
Gaurav
