As more solutions enter the marketplace claiming to collect, analyze and correlate log data, it is becoming increasingly necessary to have the ability to estimate log generation for one’s environment. This is required for two primary reaso
... ns: to estimate the amount of storage required for log data; and to estimate the cost of various solutions given their licensing model. This paper will discuss an approach to estimating the amount of log data generated in a hypothetical network environment.View More
