Measure a sample of your own

The figure above is an average; yours will differ with the format and the fields you keep. The profiler reads a sample from Android in your browser, line by line, one event per line, and reports the bytes per line to set against it. Nothing is uploaded.

Logcaliper, free on iOS, has these sizes and rates built in and sizes a whole list of sources at retention: storage, cluster capacity, nodes.
