Hi, I am writing to ask your advice on a solution I'm thinking. I have 12 servers with postfix, amavisd-new and other custom software that manage the e-mail system and I was working in a web interface to analysis the logs and correlation with the ability to search for certain fields (from, to, message-id , date). All applications send the logs to a centralized syslog-ng, and I was trying to understand which type of "destination" is better to use to ensure the rapid search. I was analyzing the possibility of using elasticsearch, but I don't know neither it or its performances. The quantity of data is very high, about 3TB of data monthly or each machine, with 2 years of retention. What do you think about? Have you any suggestions?
