Logging Load Factors [MCP]

The following factors determine the load on your Operations Sentinel server when you log messages from the MCP systems:

Number of systems that are generating messages
Message rate for each system
The configuration of SUMLOG filtering that you have specified for the Operations Sentinel MCP agent
Rate at which the event reports are generated for each system
Length of time that log files are kept before they are deleted

The volume of messages and event reports from MCP systems can be high. To plan your storage requirements, start with two to ten megabytes of logging per system per day.
