Step

Estimate
the
required
storage
capacity.
This
formula
provides
only
an
estimate;
the
exact
amount
of
required
storage
will
differ
from
the
formula
result.
Use
the
formula:
<required_storage_duration>
x
<average_log_size>
x
<average_logging_rate>
The
average
log
size
varies
considerably
by
log
type.
However,
you
can
use
360
bytes
as
an
approximate
average
log
size.
For
example,
if
Panorama
must
store
logs
for
30
days
and
the
average
total
logging
rate
for
all
firewalls
is
21,254,400
logs
per
day,
then
the
required
log
storage
capacity
is:
30
x
360
x
21,254,400
=
229,547,520,000
bytes
(approximately
230GB).
