    Overview

    The system resources calculator helps you determine the ideal system resources required for smooth product performance. By analyzing your log flow trends and retention settings, it provides tailored recommendations for disk space, CPU, and memory allocation. This ensures that your deployment can efficiently handle current and projected log volumes without performance degradation.

    NOTE The recommendation is based on trend data; it's advisable to run the product for at least 7 days to obtain more accurate recommendations.
