Hi, What is the impact of Marvel on elastic search performance. I have a single node elastic search deployment and I have installed marvel plugin. It seems that marvel also creates indexes on the node. How big is the marvel index and if the UI queries that index say every 10 secs will it adversely impact performance of elastic search. Please guide. Regards, Deep -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

The Marvel indices tend to be small (you only have 1 node and I therefore assume not too many indices). It will also have a little memory signature, if you are using the UI. Marvel creates a new index every day, so will know within a day how big it gets for you. You need to decide how many days of data you want to keep and delete old ones. Curator ([GitHub - elastic/curator: Curator: Tending your Elasticsearch indices](http://github.com/elasticsearch/curator) ) is a handy tool for that. As far as search performance goes - it shouldn't have any serious impact and if you don't have the marvel UI open it will have no impact at all.
