Hi all, first time Elasticsearch user. I am using Elastic as part of running SugarCRM 7 on-site, as it is a pre-req. I have a clean Ubuntu 14.04 install with a LAMP stack and Java installed. I have installed Elasticsearch using apt-get based on the repository instructions on the Elastic site. I installed Marvel to see what was happening, and straight away I am seeing Index growth, even though nothing is happening on the box. I assume it was some initial indexing as the service get configured, but I left it for a week and it continued to grow. At this stage no one is using Sugar and there is no data in it, so it should not be indexing anything. After a week I have 500,000 documents in the index, and nearly a GB of data consumed. How could this be? I have just done a fresh re-install to try again, and it is indexing again. The index requests on Marvel show a consistent 0.5 per second always. Where could this be coming from, or how can I fidn out. How can I see what all the documents allegedly are? I am still in the process of configuring Sugar, but hesitant to start loading data and going live until I am comfortable Elastic is running properly. Thanks for any suggestions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Which index is growing? Chances are it is the marvel index(es), which is expected.

Yes that is correct. Looks like a daily Marvel index is growing. Is this the plugin grabbing stats?

Grant, Marvel collects ES stats and put's them in a daily index for historical reference. You can decide how many days of history you then want to keep. Curator ( [GitHub - elastic/curator: Curator: Tending your Elasticsearch indices](https://github.com/elasticsearch/curator) ) is a handy tool to use in a cronjob to achieve this.
