I want to create index every day,and the data will be saved 2 years.I know every index need some resource such as `memory`.When the cluster will be unstable when create a new index? ---

> [@famoss](#): > > When the cluster will be unstable When you exhaust finite resources (disk space, memory, file handles, CPU, network bandwidth). You can use our [monitoring tools](https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/monitoring) to keep track on this and tools like [curator](https://github.com/elastic/curator) are useful to manage the ageing process of [time based indices](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/time-based.html) ---
