Aruba Networks log size: 138 bytes per event
The average Aruba Networks event is 138 bytes, measured from samples of its logs. A router source typically produces 15 events per second per device, bursting to 200: control plane only; ACL logging is the swing. The rate is an informed estimate; the size is measured.
What that comes to
One device, raw bytes, at the typical rate for a router source.
| Period | At 15 events/s | At the 200 events/s burst |
|---|---|---|
| An hour | 7.5 MB | 99.4 MB |
| A day | 179 MB | 2.4 GB |
| 90 days | 16.1 GB | 215 GB |
| A year | 65.3 GB | 870 GB |
A day of Aruba Networks logs from one device at the category's typical rate, 179 MB, is about 2 times an hour of Spotify.

Measure a sample of your own
The figure above is an average; yours will differ, and for Aruba Networks what moves it most is this: control plane only; ACL logging is the swing. The profiler reads a sample from Aruba Networks in your browser, line by line, one event per line, and reports the bytes per line to set against it. Nothing is uploaded.
