Any idea how many active NAT translations you have active at a given time ?

Thanks.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] NAT Logging Storage Requirements

2011-11-03 Thread Jason Murray
We have a single Linux server running rsyslog collecting all our NAT
translation logs.


We generate up to 5gb of data per hour.   This is for ALL our
firewall/NAT devices (wireless, resnet, etc).   We roll each log file
every hour.   The first 2 logs are kept uncompressed then everything
after that is gzip'ed down to a few hundred MB.

After compression storage is not that bad.  We keep around 30 days of
logs and have plenty of storage with a 1TB array.


Everything is CLI based, you need some grep, sed, awk skills to search
though the log files.   Overall this works out well in our
environment.
