Network switch log rate: 3 events/s per device

A network switch source typically produces 3 events per second per device, bursting to 50: link state and 802.1X only. The rate is an informed estimate, a starting point for a sizing, not a measurement.

Measured sources in this category

None yet: no network switch has a measured event size in the catalogue, so the calculator below starts from a placeholder of 500 bytes. Put in your own.

Raw bytes, before compression, indexing overhead and replication.

Measure a sample of your own

There is no measured size for network switch logs yet. The profiler reads a sample from network switch logs in your browser, line by line, one event per line, and reports the bytes per line to set against it. Nothing is uploaded.
