Hi Team, I have only one Linux server with 2GB RAM and 2 core CPUs. Is it possible to tune the JVM limit the memory and use logstash in this server. I have seen the optimization guide but it is some high level tech to me. Please help. Regards Karthik.K ---

I run logstash on a t2.micro instance (1 CPU, 1 GB RAM) so it will run on twice that. Whether it will provide enough performance for your use case is a different question. ---

Hi Badger, In my instance the logstash service keeps restarting due to some issues. Donno why and I can see majority of the My 2 cores are being used 100% and Swap space is used around 65%. Is there any way we can optimize this and make it to run with a reasonable performance ? Regards Karthik.K ---

I have managed to run logstash 7.6.2 on a docker with flags --memory="1024m" and --cpus=1 Its running fine. So I find it better to run logstash as docker container to be resource effective. ---
