Hello! I am mounting a server to run Filebeat + Logstahs which will send the output info to our Elastic Cloud Service. Currently, we are daily receiving around 500-600mb of logs and the processing they would go through is: -Filebeat: multiline -Logstash : simple grok patterns, a json transformation, and a couple of mutates. Quite simple in the end, we get around 30 fields. I am thinking about this configuration: Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS con Plesk Onyx (64 bit) Intel® Xeon® E3-1230 v6 4 Cores (HT) x 3,5 GHz (3,9 GHz Turbo Boost) 16 GB DDR4 ECC SSD 480 GB(2 x 480 GB) Would it be enough to process the 600mb daily and send them to the cloud? Bandwidth is not an issue. Thanks in advance! ---

The number of events to process is more interesting than their volume, but the suggested configuration is most likely way more than what you need. I have a two-core server with 4 GB RAM with two Logstash instances that together average 600 events/s and 15% CPU. ---

Danke @magnusbaeck , I've always have this tendency to aim to high (just in case) for this type of things. I'll let you know how it goes! Have a nice day ---
