Disk space and usage

PaulThomas00 — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 04:10:09 GMT

Hello,
If Agent settings are configured at the default 5000mb to allot for XDR agent logs.

How many days would this be expected to cover - ie are there any rough figures on low - high usage devices, to get an estimate.
Looking at dataset use I estimate between 300 - 500mb per day per endpoint, does this seem close to being accurate?
Thank you,

Hi @PaulThomas00, thanks for reaching us using the Live Community.

There is no linear way to estimate the local storage on the endpoints per day basis. It will depend on the XDR license (Prevent or Pro), the Add-On modules enabled, and mainly the level of activity on the endpoint, how many processes are running, starting and stopping, doing file actions, etc. For example, it will not be the same for a workstation that is up 8hs per day, than a server that is up and processing 24/7.

If this post answers your question, please mark it as the solution.

Thank you for your response, much appreciated and makes sense, are you aware if there is any official documentation around this?
