How to measure daily log volume (count and size) in Elasticsearch?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi Elastic community,

I’m looking for a reliable way to track the amount of logs we are receiving in our Elasticsearch/ELK stack on a daily basis. Specifically, I’d like to know:

  1. The number of logs ingested per day.

  2. The total size in GB of logs ingested per day.

What’s the best way to achieve this? Should I use Kibana visualizations or Elasticsearch dev tools queries ? Any example queries or dashboards would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Hello @gueguet45

Elasticsearch has a built-in feature that tracks this automatically. On the stack monitoring, you can see the "Indexing Rate" per second (events/s) over time.
