Hi @gitingua,

what's the purpose of your question?

Could you better describe your requirement?

if you need to know what's the dayly volume of your installation, you can go at [Settings -- Licensing -- Usage Report -- Previous 60 days] and you'll have all the needed information.

In instead you have to analyze your infrastructure to make a correct order to Splunk it's more difficoult because you should analyze your systems and make a Capacity Plan.

Extremely simplifying:

  • count the system in the perimeter of each kind (Windows servers, Linux Servers, Firewalls, network appliances, etc...)
  • for each system find an average of the dayly events,
  • for each system see the dimension of an event,
  • make a calculation using a saving factor of 30%.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
