I'm using logstash in a somewhat unconventional way & I would like to minimize the resources it consumes. I will only have input from a single filebeat source & a single output. In particular, I'd like to reduce the amount of memory that is allocated at startup. Any suggestions? I'm running on a minimal-HW system. Using CSV & grok filters on the input.
Thank you.
