I'm working on a Company with generates about 80Gbs of Log Files daily. And a collegue sugested implementing the ELK Stack (Elastic Search). What are you thoughs about it? Have you used it already? Do you suggest another options? Thanks in advance.

I think it's great, just make sure to have plenty of cpu and ram for your elastic cluster because it uses a ton. Additionally, I suggest skipping logstash and shipping logs directly from filebeat -> elastic. Filebeat is very simple to set up and runs on tiny memory allocation.
