Hi everyone,

I need to know the daily incoming data size in GB. How can I calculate it?

Could you please help with that?

Not sure if this would answer this question exactly but this could give an idea: [Mapper size plugin | Elasticsearch Plugins and Integrations [8.10] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/mapper-size.html)

Then you can compute an aggregation per day (`date_histogram`) with a `sum` inside.

This requires node reboot and for me it is not possible right now. ☹

Have a look at this then but this is not going to give you exactly what you want I think: [Nodes stats API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.10] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cluster-nodes-stats.html)
