Hi I’d like to reduce the default 20gb Elasticsearch PVC from the [Fluentd](https://kurl.sh/docs/add-ons/fluentd) addon to something smaller for our development workloads, where we try to keep the VMs as little as possible. That value is not exposed via advanced installer option and Kubernetes doesn’t seem to support volume shrinking, so I can’t do this as a post-deployment step. How should I approach it? Thanks! ---

It looks like it is a [hard coded](https://github.com/replicatedhq/kURL/blob/main/addons/fluentd/1.7.4/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-statefulset.yaml#L79) value. I suggest submitting a feature a request via the Vendor Portal, or a PR? ---

Thanks for the info @jdewinne. I’ll submit a feature request if needed…
