> I want to know how many swap files are created in kibana for Ubuntu server when you create a text file using nano. i see 4 swap files deleted when i deleted the text file i have created in Ubuntu. Similarly the no of swap files deleted data shown on kibana is more than no of file created E.g if abc.txt file is created. there are more than 1 swap files shown as created in kibana. I will really appreciate any help as i can't find the answer in google for this
