I understand that Elastic search has a built in functionality to control merges of data so if there is a huge increasing logs it doesn't overload the system. I am wondering where I could actually view these settings or if there was some sort of whitepaper or something with that information.

Welcome to our community! 😃

I am not sure they are [documented](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.5/index-modules-merge.html) in a way you might be looking for unfortunately.
