Requirement Version/Comment
Disk space

The plugin’s specification requires:

  • provisioning at least 15 GB of disk space for the system
  • 10 GB for the logs
  • 30 GB for the database

As a result, the installation of the plugin will fail if there is less than 55 GB of disk space available on the node.

Hardware configuration The hardware configuration (RAM, CPU, disk) depends on the size of your cloud environment of your cloud environment and other parameters such as the retention period and log level. A typical setup would at least requires a quad-core server with 8 GB of RAM and access to a 500-1000 IOPS disk. For sizeable production deployments it is strongly recommended to use a disk capable of 1000+ IOPS like an SSD. The actual disk space you need to run the plugin on depends on several factors including the size of your OpenStack environment, the retention period, the logging level, and workload. The more of the above, the more disk space you need to run the Elaticsearch-Kibana plugin. We also highly recommend using dedicated disk(s) for your data storage.
