It really depends on the resource you give Logstash and the logging volume.

In our production environment I have Filebeat on about 1000 machines going to 4 Logstash instances. Filebeat will automatically loadbalance over all Logstash instances you configure in Filebeat. It also depends a lot on how much filtering is done in Logstash.

Estimate 1 Filebeat transfer 15G data to logstash, logstash will filter till 3G per day.
