This tool helps to generate a Helm Charts `values.yaml` file based on specified
 expected ingestion, retention rate and node type.

<div id="app">

  <label class="icon question">Node Type</label>
  <select name="node-type" v-model="node"> 
  <option v-for="node of nodes">{{ node }}</option>
  </select>

  <label class="icon question">Ingest</label>
  <input v-model="ingest" name="ingest" placeholder="Desired ingest in TB/day" type="number" max="1000" min="0"/>

  <label class="icon question">Log retention period</label>
  <input v-model="retention" name="retention" placeholder="Desired retention period in days" type="number" min="0"/>

  <label class="icon question">Query performance</label>
  <div id="queryperf" style="display: inline-flex;">
  <label for="basic">
  <input type="radio" id="basic" value="Basic" v-model="queryperf"/>Basic
  </label>

  <label for="super">
  <input type="radio" id="super" value="Super" v-model="queryperf"/>Super
