Calculating log size

Hi,

  1. How to calculate size of logs generated by elastic defend integration in kibana portal?
  2. also need to calculate, sum of data collected by agents per log type.
  3. which field (es field name) will have size of event ? if not is there any work around to fetch the size of an event/log entry(using kibana)

can anyone help? @stephenb @Christian_Dahlqvist

The size of the event is by default not indexed or stored so you need to install the mapper size plugin. This adds a _size metadata field to new data that you can query or run aggregations over in Kibana.

Sorry for tagging

Thank you for the solution
