Hi,
I have installed elasticsearch-5.1.1. The installed folder has 60 GB space on which elasticsearch-5.1.1/data/nodes/0/indices folder size is gradually increasing and reaching full size. We are only feeding logs from a handful sources via filebeat and thinking about adding logs from more sources. Can anyone please suggest on recycling the indexes/compressing/housekeeping?

Have a look at [Elasticsearch Curator](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/4.2/index.html).
