Hello,  
This may be a silly question but I was looking for documentation on Outgoing traffic in System Overview.

 ![graylog-outgoing-traffic](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/graylog/original/2X/1/1a38b7f011107039016e48d7b555ac11275301bd.png)

I’m not sure If I missed something, but is there documentation which explains what is Outgoing traffic doing on Graylog, and where is it going?  
any help would be appreciated  
Thank in advance

The outgoing traffic on the System Overview page relates to the amount of data written into Elasticsearch (which the licensing is based on).
