My logstash stopped over the weekend for some reason. I currently only have 1 beat. winlogbeat, shipping its logs to it, but if it breaks every time some1 restarts their PC or something, then thats obviously going to be an issue. I now dont have logs from the last 2 days. It worked friday, and then it looks like it broke saturday the 14th What could be the problem here? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/2/429310a0e670a53882dd0943cbc8f19255b5cc32.jpeg) \*\*EDIT Maybe this is actually an Elasticsearch issue. Im getting this alot: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/f/2f30cf06ed21e9859c0d9b6e5241d62c93b07ebb.png) Which i think means something is wrong with my resource amounts. The VM has 64GB memory so that should be plenty. The `jvm.options` has `-Xms16g` and `-Xmx16g`. What else is relevant here? There is something about shards and indices im not really understanding ---

I tried reading this [https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-many-shards-should-i-have-in-my-elasticsearch-cluster](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-many-shards-should-i-have-in-my-elasticsearch-cluster), but i just dont really understand what im dealing with yet. I followed the "getting started" guide, and a couple of days later this happened. Not sure how many shards or indexes i have. There should not be a large amount of data. I have had 2 beats running for a couple of days on stale devices, so i cant imagine the space usage being the issue. ---
