Additional Information on Eventlog Analyzer Recommendation:
* The RAM requirement varies based on the log flow rate and the retention settings configured for Elasticsearch (ES). The specified RAM is designed to handle real-time log processing and search operations for up to 2TB of data. For searches spanning multiple days (>2TB of data), the required RAM can be calculated as: (Index Data Size in GB / 60) + 16 GB.
** The disk space requirement depends on the log flow rate and the retention settings configured for Elasticsearch (ES) and Archives. Disk space is calculated based on a high log flow with a retention period of 1 year for Archives and 32 days for ES.
Note:
- Use the recommended specifications for a production environment. The minimum requirements are suitable for customers with low log flow or those who are evaluating the product.
- It is advisable to install EventLog Analyzer on a dedicated machine.
- Using an SSD is strongly recommended for optimal performance.
- Disk space and RAM requirements depend on the flow rate (EPS) and the retention period configured for Archives and Elasticsearch (ES) in EventLog Analyzer.
- If Log360 and EventLog Analyzer are installed on separate servers, ensure that the Log360 server meets the Additional ES Node Recommendation to support the Master ES Node.
- For each integrated product, refer to the individual product recommendations below for fine-tuning configurations.

General Recommendations
VM infrastructure
- Allocate 100 percent RAM/CPU to the virtual machine running EventLog Analyzer. Sharing memory/CPU with other virtual machines on the same host may result in RAM/CPU starvation and may negatively impact EventLog Analyzer's performance.
- Enabling VM snapshots is not recommended as the host duplicates data in multiple blocks by increasing reads and writes, resulting in increased IO latency and degraded performance.
CPU & RAM
- Server CPU utilization should be maintained below 85% always to ensure optimal performance.
- 50% of server RAM should be kept free for Off-heap utilization of Elasticsearch for optimal performance.
DISK
- Disk latency greatly affects the performance of SIEM solutions. Direct-attached storage(DAS) is recommended on par with an SSD with near zero latency and high throughput. An enterprise SAN can be faster than SSD.
Log360
- Log360 components are resource intensive processes. It is recommended to provide each component with a dedicated server for better performance.
- It is recommended to split the load with Multiple ES Nodes, with Each node handling 800GB - 1.2 TB of Data.
- Log360 uses Elasticsearch, which is expected to utilize off-heap usage for better performance. Off-heap usage is maintained by OS and will free up when necessary.
