What are the real minimal requirements for a lab Elastic stack deployment ? I mean : no production data. Only functionnal testing in the lab. So how much RAM/CPU/Disk to run Elastic + Kibana + Logstash on a single node with a few hundreds events from the tests. Data source will be two Elastic Agents (one linux, one windows) and one packetbeat agent. Can this run on a 4 vCPU / 4GB RAM / 20GB disk linux VM ? (testing for an on-premises deployment, so I can't go for a cloud trial) ---
