how much memory is neccesary for install: 
  • filebeat, logstash and wazuh-manager in the same machine?
  • and for elasticsearch and kibana? 
i mean cpu,memory ram, space in HDD or SSD.

Thanks,

Dene

Hello Hamado,

I’ll indicate here the minimum hardware for deploying the infrastructure you ask for:

  1. A machine for Filebeat, Logstash and a Wazuh manager could be provisioned with only 2 GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores, that should be fine for a lab environment with a low EPS rate. About the storage, 20 GB should be sufficient. Note that the biggest files in this machine will be the alerts.json and alerts.log files, also the machine logs, which won't require large amounts of disk. In the case that your environment needs to scale, we recommend to do it horizontally. Notice that the hardware requirements don’t depend on the number of agents, it depends on the EPS (event per second).
  2. For Elasticsearch and Kibana services, a machine with a minimum of 4GB of RAM and 2 core is required. The disk (SSD) is a key factor for performance, so you should install as memory as you can, because Elasticsearch is supposed to index every event received from the Manager and to maintain it over the time.

I’ll also let you know that we will describe hardware recommendations in our documentation soon. We have already opened an issue for it, you can keep a track here..

I hope it helps.

Regards,
Manuel
