Hi, I installed ELK to analyze apache logs. I have managed to make it work , but I have a question in relation to the size of the index created by logstash . I just put an input file it was 260MB and once analyzed by logstash , the index on ES was more than 300MB . No problem so far. The thing is that a log for a short day of activity is running at 2GB . Approximately 2300MB once in ES by logstash . Knowing that I have several servers ( jboss , Apache , Tomcat ) . How to manage the size of the index in ElasticSearch ? Can I have multiple indexes in ES and Kibana I work on more indexes for one graph ? Log files are rotated every day. Thank you for your response . ---

Check out [Elasticsearch Curator](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/index.html) for managing indices. Yes you can have multiple indices, it's probably a good idea for each of your sources. ---
