Was just thinking why aren't the elasticsearch logs indexed internally by themselves.

Could be a feature we could turn on or off? If not to heavy on the cluster? Without the need of logstash or shippers etc...

And we could specify if it done within its own cluster or another one...

Elastic{on} here I come!

🙂
