Are internal events compressed to 50% as it does for any normal events?

For avg raw size of events in metrics.log is 150bytes

So while storing it in indexer will it take approx 75 bytes??

Hi @hectorvp,

all the indexes (internal and external) are compressed:

  • rawdata are around 15% of the raw pre-indexed data,
  • index files are around 35% of the raw pre-indexed data.

In total 50%.

Ciao.
