ELK-Stack Requirements

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
i am running a single elasticsearch host with nearly 1 billion documents (apache logs) in it :slight_smile:

All documents are stored in different indices that are rotated daily: a_log-YEAR.MONTH.DAY

I do close all unused indices and open them if i need 'em.

I have some large Kibana visualizations where Elasticsearch needs to filter and count a lot Data.
Sometimes Elasticsearch crashes. The service is running on a hypervisor with 4 cores and 25gb ram.

How much RAM do i need to handle so many documents. And how many nodes should i add? (to my single on :smiley: )
