I ask few time about Architecture but no input from community. well after while now asking different questions but same topic Can I setup multiple coordinating only server? will it help? this is what I was thinking. Is this ok architecture? 4 data node 3 cluster master only 2 logstash only 3 coordinating only with kibana for load balance. ---

Whether coordinating only nodes will help or not depends on what you problem is. Since you have not provided any details I would recommend to test and see. ---

I have no problem. just setting up brand new cluster now. existing one is working. but exacting that work load will increase. Currently I have five node cluster, all five are master and data. one of them is also logstash. and all of them running kibana as well. ---

I always recommend Kibana with a local coordinating node, whether you need 3 of them is unknown, have at least 2 for redundancy. ---
