Review first #

  • shard count versus actual data volume
  • dynamic mapping growth
  • expensive Logstash regex work
  • bulk rejection and queue growth
  • refresh behavior on hot indices

Reminder #

Heap pressure is often a symptom. Shard strategy, mapping control, and ingestion shape are usually the real architecture decisions.
