Proxy log rate: 600 events/s per device

A proxy source typically produces 600 events per second per device, bursting to 3,000: one record per HTTP request, tracks user count. The rate is an informed estimate, a starting point for a sizing, not a measurement; the event sizes below are measured.

Measured sources in this category

Average bytes per event, measured, and one device's volume at the typical 600 events per second.

At the median size, a day from one device, 74.9 GB, is about the size of a day of James Webb data.

Raw bytes, before compression, indexing overhead and replication.

Measure a sample of your own

The figure above is an average; yours will differ, and for proxy logs what moves it most is this: one record per HTTP request, tracks user count. The profiler reads a sample from proxy logs in your browser, line by line, one event per line, and reports the bytes per line to set against it. Nothing is uploaded.
