- Enabling logging and monitoring increases the resource consumption of the deployment. For production systems, we recommend sizing deployments with logging and monitoring enabled to at least 4 GB of RAM on each Elasticsearch instance.
- Enabling logging and monitoring can trigger a plan change on your deployment. You can monitor the plan change progress from the deployment's **Activity** page.

To enable monitoring on your deployment:

1. Log into [{{ecloud}} Console](https://cloud.elastic.co?page=docs&placement=docs-body) (ECH) or [the Cloud UI](/deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-enterprise/log-into-cloud-ui.md) (ECE).
