F5 i10800 log storage capacity

Hi, we have an F5 Big-IP LTM i10800 ASM and we have a requierement to store logs for 1 year on an external server, i would like to know how much storage capacity should i provision on the external server Regards

 

  • Factors to consider in sizing a storage of ASM request logs

     

    1. Determine what are you actually logging Requests, responses, violations.....

       

    2. Determine limitations of remote logging buffer size - this a per record limit that can be used in general for the size of all records because it will never be bigger than this. default logging profile maximum size is 10k

       

    3. Determine volume of traffic logging Determine the how often and how many of each log you are generating over the time you expect to have to store it
