If the workloads on the data plane of a Logstash cluster increase, you can scale out the cluster by adding more nodes.
You may scale out a Logstash cluster for the following purposes:
Scale-out process: Add more nodes of the appropriate specifications to the Logstash cluster and modify cluster configuration.
For a pay-per-use cluster, you can see its new price when confirming the scale-out or scale-up on the console. After the scale-out or scale-up is complete, the new price will apply. For pricing details, see .
Scaling out a Logstash cluster does not affect services. However, once started, a scale-out task cannot be stopped until it succeeds or fails.
The scale-out operation takes 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the cluster's scheduling capabilities.
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Action | Select Scale out. |
Resources | Quantities of resources added. |
Nodes | Increase the number of nodes in the Nodes column. |
You can also expand the capacity of a Logstash cluster by upgrading node specifications. For details, see Changing the Node Specifications of a Logstash Cluster.
