Hi there,

What would be the best way for a minimum cluster setup with Graylog/MongoDB/Elasticsearch?

I was thinking about following:

- 3 Graylog Server with MongoDB
- 3 Elasticsearch Server with as Master and Data node  
or
- 3 Graylog Server with MongoDB
- 1 dedicated ES Master node and 2 ES Master & Data nodes  
or
- 3 GL with MongoDB
- 3 dedicated ES Master nodes
- 2 dedicated ES Data nodes

Thanks for helping.  
BR Mat

welcome to the community - having a dedicated ES master is not needed in a small environment.

I would place Graylog and MongoDB on the same server and have as much ES nodes as you need to the data you are aiming for. We have some threads in the community about that topic and you might want to look around what has already been discussed.
