tip
While we do our best to represent the data as fairly and accurately as possible (interal tests), your environment may experience different limits.
- Raw estimate is that ~60k fps should generate around 300 GB/day.
- In custom dashboard configurations we recommend to add (best performance) up to 12 widgets per single dashboard.
- Software image has by default : 128GB System and 128GB Data plus default retention policy configured. Please modify those before any production installation.
Probe hardware requirements
Probe is available as a license for Virtual or Hardware Appliance. The performance of the Probe depends on the hardware resources. Please see below the requirements depends on the traffic through out to monitor:
| Traffic | < 100 Mbps | Between 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps | Between 1 and 10 Gbps | Above 10 Gbps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flow Export Rate | < 100 FPS | < 1000 FPS | < 3000 FPS | 3000+ FPS |
| Active Flow Cache | Thousands | Hundreds of Thousands | A few Millions | Tenth of Millions |
| CPU Type | 2 cores | 2 cores+ | 4 cores+ | 8 cores+ |
| Memory | 2 GB | 2 GB+ | 4-8 GB+ | 16 GB+ |
