I am trying to figure out how many bytes have been indexed through elastic search. I first ingest my files through logstash then forward it to ES. Is there any way I can get the total number of bytes indexed in ES and can I assume the total number of bytes is equal to the number of bytes of the logs I'm ingesting (like no additional metadata added in)?
