**A minimum configuration to ingest**

from 15 devices - 12 reads/second per device - 180 reads / second in total from 15 devices  
Approx - 1,4GB per device on per day

To clarify **1 read** is a pack of data sent from the device.

At the end of the day we will have about 5 millions reads from this 15 devices.

How many GB/RAM do we need for Elasticsearch and how many GB/RAM do we need for Kibana to run smooth?  
As I know, ES and Kibana are CPU light, so how many cores should we have for each one?
