Hi,

I am trying to find a solution to a potential problem that I have. I want to limit the amount of data that Logstash can send onto Splunk. Does Logstash have any functionality that will allow me to set a threshold of say 1GB per host per day?

Thanks in advance,  
Steve

No, I do not believe it does.
