Hi!  
I need help with the following question: what hardware resources does Filebeat need at least to run? (CPU, Disk, Memory)

Thank you!

Hi @Armando_Ayala,

filebeat is very light weight and there is no specification for hardware. However, it depending on your deployment I think its better to tests it and see how it impact your use case.
