Metricbeat Index Size Recommendation

SNJY · September 18, 2018, 5:05am

Hi,

In our setup, Metricbeat (6.2.4) index is growing day by day - it has reached to ~200GB per day. I got some idea from somehwhere that efficient size of single index should be less than 50G. Could someone please share document on it.

Thanks

We suggest shards themselves be no larger than 50GB. The index can be larger though.
