good morning I have a question and I have a filebeat running that is sending me netflow to my Elasticsearch, but I have noticed that there are more documents in some times than others, why does it look like this? i.e. netflow generates larger packages than others or because it sends me more documents in one time to another?

Thank you, I am waiting for your answers
