This product supports the flexibility of scaling the underlying instance up or down to achieve the desired feature capacity to match your requirements. The following information is an example of how to size your cloud instance to support a logging rate of 2GB/DAY with a recommended disk space to store 6 months of logs and then increase from 2GB/DAY to 100GB/Day.

Select an instance size with 8vCPU to support a 2GB/DAY logging rate and is configured with 360GB of storage space.

To increase the logging rate to 100GB/Day, shut down the existing instance, select and apply an instance size with 16vCPU, and add storage space to equal 18 TB.
