Hello All, Is there any documentation recommending about Machine configuration in order to run Elastic Search and Logstash (One same VM or separate VM )? I am creating log processing and analysis pipeline for our company. One Instance of Logstash and Elastic Search should safely handle syslog type data from 1500 Network Devices in a region. I am looking for Machine Configuration like, Memory, CPU , core, HardDisk space etc. Appreciate your help. Thanks ! ---
