Hi

I have installed Elastic Search/Kibana on a single medium sized server now for testing purposes.

I have some roughly 100 Linux/Windows Server where am planning to install Metric and File beats which will send data to Elastic Search.

What will be your suggestion on system requirement in terms of CPU and Disk space. Can I get away using a single server to install elastic search or should I be installing it on multiple servers.  
I will be installing it on Linux Redhat server. Please Suggest.
