Hello, I connect few logstash agent to elasticsearch and it collect under 1GB data per day, I want collect all data for 1 or 3 day but older I want aggregate. I don't need data per one minute, enough one per hour for example. I used this scripts [https://github.com/crashdump/logstash-elasticsearch-scripts](https://github.com/crashdump/logstash-elasticsearch-scripts) but this not resolve my problem. Maybe somebody know how can I reduce data collect by elasticsearch? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi, The logstash\_index\_optimize.py script should help gain back a bit of your disk space on your old and read-only indices. Otherwise, unfortunately Logstash and Elasticsearch cannot index data into per-minute or per-hour summaries. If you are having issues regarding disk space, I guess there is not other choice but to decrease your rentention policy or to buy more disks.
