Welcome to our community! 😃 [Benchmarking and sizing your Elasticsearch cluster for logs and metrics | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/benchmarking-and-sizing-your-elasticsearch-cluster-for-logs-and-metrics) is a good start on this topic. Elasticsearch has free and inbuilt monitoring that can show you resource usage - [Monitoring overview | Elasticsearch Guide [8.7] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.7/monitoring-overview.html). Expansion of storage is not something Elasticsearch does, you will need to check the documentation for your OS. ---
