All,

What are my hardware recommendations for a HEC? How many instances would I need for say 24gigs of logs a day? Didn't seem like much so I am thinking 2 VMs at 12CPU/12gigss ram?

Thoughts? Any docs I should be reading here?

Hey daniel333,

You can refer this document:
Recommended hardware in the Installation Manual.

Also below is the link for splunk sizing:

You can use single instance and if you are looking for high availability of data then refer this link as well for clustered environment:

Hope this helps!!!
