Estimating daily log volume

To estimate your daily log volume, you can look at the relevant count of metrics for your logged datasets and fields.

You can configure a Logpush job to analyze a single log to get the average amount of data per log. To do so, make a GraphQL query with an HTTP dataset (such as httpRequestsAdaptiveGroups). Then, multiply the average data per log by the average number of requests per day to get the number of requests per day. For example:

echo -n '{"ClientIP":"123.45.67.89","ClientRequestHost":"example.cis.com","ClientRequestMethod":"GET","ClientRequestURI":"/shark/sl-12345","EdgeEndTimestamp":1724947703387000000,"EdgeResponseBytes":495,"EdgeResponseStatus":200,"EdgeStartTimestamp":1724947703256000000,"RayID":"ffadcca953ea3908"}' | \
wc -c

The output indicates the log file is 286 bytes in size:

286

If the domain receives 100 KB requests daily, then the daily log volume calculation would be about 28.6 MB (286 bytes multiplied by 10,0000 requests is 28.6 MB).
