Hi,

i have to install an ELK server for a barracuda log access only. Can i choose a simple VM with 4vcpu,10G Ram and 300G SATA. i will install one node instance. With a configuration like this can the index "grow as he can" or the kibana graphes will slowdown if the index will have certain size. The graphes will always depends on date range.

Regards  
Walid

That looks like it will work without any major problems. More RAM would be preferable if you can get it, 16GB for eg.
