Bluecoat log size: 300 bytes per event

The average Bluecoat event is 300 bytes, measured from samples of its logs. 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; the size is measured.

What that comes to

One device, raw bytes, at the typical rate for a proxy source.

A day of Bluecoat logs from one device at the category's typical rate, 15.6 GB, is about the size of an 8B model’s weights.

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 Bluecoat what moves it most is this: one record per HTTP request, tracks user count. The profiler reads a sample from Bluecoat in your browser, line by line, one event per line, and reports the bytes per line to set against it. Nothing is uploaded.
