i am new to ES i would like to monitor 100000 endpoint with Metric Beats.  
Can you please help me with below question:

1. Can i monitor 100000 system with beats. is it possible?
2. can i store those data to Elastic search, since data generated for those endpoints will be huge.
3. what are the points i should consider while doing something like this. since all endpoint will be pointing to one Elastic search server.
