Greetings,

I am new to ELK

I am not getting it through the tutorials  
please help me in it.

As I want to monitor different servers(5 Servers) So I want to know as to observe the servers live do i Need more than 1 Node? and also how to create replica Shards?  
For Using ELK Stack on live Server Is important to have replica Shard?  
Is it compulsory to have more than 1 Node to create replica Shards.  
If yes than How to create different Nodes?

Thanks & Regards  
Shrikant
