Hi Experts,

I have gone through many posts and blogs related to the hardware recommendation . I am planning to use below architecture to handle 300 GB to 600 GB daily data volume .

ES Production cluster

**Data Type** :- Time series data , and users will open dashboards to get reports on daily, weekly and monthly basis .

1. **3 Master nodes** (2 cpus, 8GB RAM (4 heap) node.master: true node.data: false)
2. **3 Data Nodes** (8 CPU, 64GB RAM node.master:false node.data:true)

**No of shards Per day** :- I am aware max size for 1 shard would be 50 GB , so I am planing to have Primary Shards :- 7 and Replica :- 1 per index per day. Is this good approach ?

I was also wondering to which node Kibana should hit, I know ideally it should be Coordinating node but I do not have this node , so Can I use data not for this purpose only ?

I do not think so I'll need Ingest node , Coordinating node for this data volume ? I am planning to use 1 LS machine to ingest data to one of the data node directly .

Regards  
VG
