Increse compression ratio

Graylog Central (peer support)

Hi,

I’ve been looking for a way to make gl/es consume less disk space. I’ve found this post with the suggestion to set index.codec to best_compression. But how do you do that? The doc mentioned in the article says to create a template for graylog to write to elasticsearch. Is there another way? I just want to increase the compression ratio and leave everything dynamic.

Cheers

As @jochen explained in the thread you linked to:

  • By default Elastic has the compression functionality enabled.
  • If you want to tweak the settings you will need to dig deeper into Elastic. It’s not something that’s done through Graylog.
