This section lists the minimum system requirements for installing and working with Firewall Analyzer. Please refer our website for recommended system requirements.
For 32 Bit Installation
The minimum hardware requirements for Firewall Analyzer to start running are listed below.
For 64 Bit Installation
The minimum hardware requirements for Firewall Analyzer to start running are listed below.
Firewall Analyzer is optimized for 1024x768 monitor resolution and above.
* The following table recommends the disk space and RAM size requirements of the system where Firewall Analyzer is installed. The disk space and RAM size requirements depends on the number of devices sending log information to Firewall Analyzer, the number of firewall log records received per second or the firewall log data received per day by Firewall Analyzer.
Recommended Minimum RAM Requirement
| Log Records Rate | RAM Size |
| Up to 100 Logs/sec | 1 GB |
| 100 - 500 Logs/sec | 2 GB |
| 500 - 1000 Logs/sec | 4 GB |
| Above 1000 Logs/sec | 4 GB (64 Bit) |
| Above 1000 Logs/sec | 8 GB |
Hard Disk Space Requirement
The split up is: Archive+Index+MySQL=Total
| Log Records Rate | For 1 Day | For 1 Week | For 1 Month |
| 50 Logs/sec | 1+0.5+10.5=12 GB | 5+3+30=38 GB | 18+7+75=100 GB |
| 100 Logs/sec | 2+1+15=18 GB | 10+5+50=65 GB | 35+15+100=150 GB |
| 300 Logs/sec | 6+3+31=40 GB | 30+15+105=150 GB | 100+45+295=440 GB |
| 500 Logs/sec | 10+5+75=90 GB | 50+25+225=300 GB | 170+70+480=720 GB |
| 1000 Logs/sec | 20+10+150=180 GB | 95+45+500=640 GB | 325+125+950=1.4 TB |
| Log Records Rate | For 3 Months | For 6 Months | For 1 Year |
| 50 Logs/sec | 60+25+125=210 GB | 120+40+160=320 GB | 240+90+300=630 GB |
| 100 Logs/sec | 110+50+240=400 GB | 220+80+320=720 GB | 450+170+580=1.2 TB |
| 300 Logs/sec | 280+120+600=1 TB | 500+200+800=1.5 TB | 900+350+1250=2.5 TB |
| 500 Logs/sec | 470+230+1100=1.8 TB | 900+400+2100=3.4 TB | 1700+700+3600=6 TB |
| 1000 Logs/sec | 920+480+2100=3.5 TB | 1750+750+4200=6 TB | 2850+1250+6400=10.5 TB |

Note: The Log Records Per Second is the total log records received per second by Firewall Analyzer from all the configured devices.
For better performance, we recommend replacing the existing MySQL parameters mentioned in startDB.bat/sh, available under <FirewallAnalyzerHome>\bin directory, with the following MySQL parameters changes for the corresponding RAM Size.
| RAM Size | MySQL Parameters For Windows Installation | MySQL Parameters For Linux Installation |
| 512 MB | Default configuration as given in startDB.bat | Default configuration as given in startDB.bat |
| 1 GB | --innodb_buffer_pool_size=300M --key-buffer-size=150M --max_heap_table_size=150M --tmp_table_size=100M --table-cache=512 |
--innodb_buffer_pool_size=300M --key_buffer_size=150M --max_heap_table_size=150M --tmp_table_size=100M --table-cache=512 |
