NimbostratusHi,
Our splunk license is only for 1GB of traffic a day, I've done some testing of an F5 guest on a Viprion running code version 11.6.1. We seem to be using about 400MB a day just from this one guest, which has almost no traffic traversing it.
When I had all the options for logging enabled I used about 550MB a day. Now I've cut this down to only System statistics being enabled in the iapp and I still use about 400MB a day.
The Viprion Guest currently has very minimal configuration (network config and a single LTM pool that is barely used).
Is this level of data output as expected? I would ideally like to use this iapp on our production Viprion guests however I fear this will push us well over our splunk licensing.
Regards, Dan
