Re: Elastic + Kibana Server Specs Recommendation

2014-08-17 Thread Otis Gospodnetic
Hi AK,

It's a little hard to make a recommendation like this because it really 
depends on how you've structured your logical and physical index, how much 
historical data you want to keep and query, what sort of queries you run, 
how fast you need things to be, etc.

Something like SPM for Elasticsearch (http://sematext.com/spm/ ) can tell 
you about where your bottleneck is - maybe it's CPU, maybe it's RAM, maybe 
it's IO, or something else.  Based on that info you will see which 
instances you should get, how many you'll need, etc.

For Elasticsearch, try m3.xlarge and set ES_HEAP_SIZE to 7 or 8GB. You may 
also want to have more than one node in your cluster.

You might also want to split Logstash off onto a separate instance. It is 
CPU intensive but not particularly RAM intensive. Set the -w {n} flag in 
the startup script to allow Logstash to run multiple threads across 
multiple cores. You might start with a m3.large for this and use -w 2 and 
see how it goes.

Elastic + Kibana Server Specs Recommendation

2014-08-13 Thread AK
Hi,

I recently launched ELK and I'm receiving about 3,000,000 - 8,000,000 docs 
per day (~ 5GB)
I'm running on AWS on a small server, and after a week of data collection 
the system becomes very very slow, mainly when I am looking for data older 
than 2 days.
Do you have a recommendation for servers in points such as cpu, memory and 
iops and elstic settings like shards.

Thanks
AK
