Bandwidth usage and performance metrics

The approximate bandwidth, CPU, and memory consumption for operations performed using ADAudit Plus is discussed below:

Testing environment

The metric details have been concluded based on the following network setup:

Specification of the computer on which ADAudit Plus is installed OS - Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition
  • Processor - Intel Xeon Silver 4214R CPU
  • Processor speed - 2.39GHz
  • Installed RAM - 16GB
  • Heap of product used - 1GB
Network setup Active Directory-based setup
Total number of computers 1 computer
Network bandwidth 1 GBps

Bandwidth consumption

The table below shows the bandwidth consumption for event collection both with and without Agent installation.

Operation Mode No. of events fetched Bandwidth consumption per computer Data transfer rate
Event Collection Agent ~1.04 million 1295 MB 3.37 MBps
Agentless ~1.06 million 3213 MB 17.67 MBps

Performance metrics - Agent footprint

Agent installation will occupy a disk space of up to 2 GB (approximately) on the drive. The data shown below has been predicted from:

  • a single agent machine for event collection.
  • a single user session for session recording.

Table 1 - CPU Consumption during initial setup

Agent process Event collection type Running application name CPU consumption (Approx.) Memory (RAM) consumption (Approx.)
Event collection Schedule mode ADAPAgent.exe 13 - 14 %* 65 - 75 MB
Real-time 10 - 18%* 73 - 86 MB
Session recording Real-time ADAPSessionMonitoring.exe 0.25 - 0.45% 52 - 61 MB
*Note: The above value denotes the CPU consumption when event collection happens for the first time. CPU consumption varies based on the size of the event log data read from the Event Viewer. The above values were obtained for a configured event log size of 4 GB.

Table 2 - CPU Consumption for everyday tasks

Agent process Event collection type Running application name CPU consumption (Approx.) Memory (RAM) consumption (Approx.)
Event collection Schedule mode ADAPAgent.exe 1 - 2 % 65 - 75 MB
Real-time 1- 2% 73 - 86 MB
Session recording Real-time ADAPSessionMonitoring.exe 0.25 - 0.45% 52 - 61 MB
