I am not sure if it is up to date, but the document [posted here](https://community.graylog.org/t/server-sizing-guide/11309/3) has some useful sizing guidelines.

Apart from CPU/RAM/Disk allocations, my recommendation (from personal experience) is to always keep Graylog and Elasticsearch/Opensearch in seperate VMs.
