Hello All We are planning to implement Logstash with kibana for our application logs(log4 j - weblogic..). We have about 10 applications running in 10 instances, we would have about 100 logs files. Total size would be about 100-150GB. What would be the recommended server configurations? Do we need to have dedicated server for Elastic search and logstash? Any help would be appreciated Thanks Vijay ---

100 to 150 GB per... day? Or is that the largest amount you'll ever have to store? ---

That would be largest amount (100-150GB). Logs will be updated in miliseconds. We would also want to keep the latency as low as possible. ---

Okay. That's not much. I suspect a single Elasticsearch node is going to take you far. ---

You don't need 24 GB RAM and 4 CPUs for Kibana. > Can i have kibana and Logstash in same node? Yes, of course. ---
