Hi ,

We are analyzing ES for storing our log data (~ 400 GB/Day) and will be  
integrating Logstash and ES. What is the maximum amount of data that can  
be stored on one node of ES ?

Regards,  
Gaurav

Depends.  
How much disk do you have? RAM? CPU? Java version and release? ES version?  
What's your query load like? Are you doing lots of aggregates or facets?

The best way to know is to start using ELK on an platform indicative of  
your intended server size and then see how much data a single node can  
handle, then extrapolate.

We are planning to use \>1 TB SSD for our nodes, typical node machine with  
24 core CPU and ~ 200 GB RAM. Our ELK stack : Elastic Search v1.3.2 ,  
logstash 1.4.1 with Java 1.7 and Kibana 3.0
