As events occur across Domains & Servers, the event logs get filled with data, that are processed for meaningful information (reports / forensics) and later archived (save disk space & historical reporting); the disk space required to store the ever growing event log data is unique & depends on the number of domain controllers, file servers, workstations...
Don't for one second think we advice you to refrain from adding DCs & Servers..... However, with increased resources come, increased need for disk space and we will do our best to suggest the most optimum RAM, minimum disk space and event log settings and in turn ensuring the apt auditing environment.

The hard disk requirements computation for Active Directory Auditing & File Server Auditing are detailed in the tables below. The numbers reached are with a simple calculation based on the number of users, number of days and the approx size of an event log.
Number of Users |
Number of Days |
Total Size |
1 | 1 | 15 KB |
10000 | 90 | 15 * 10000 * 90 = 13500000 KB (13 GB) |
For example, let us imagine the below scenario:
No of Domain Controllers : 5
No of users : 10000
No of Days : 90
Average log size : 15 KB
Disc Space : Average Log Size * No of Users * No of Days
Archive : (Average Log Size * No of Users * No of Days) / 10
As the 'Archived' logs will be zipped, the folder size will reduce by 90%, making the zipping ratio as 10:1.
Total Disc Space = Archive (1.28 GB) + 12.8 GB (Approx for 15 kb * 10000 Users * 90)
Number of Users |
Number of Files |
Number of Days |
Total Size |
1 | 1 | 1 | 4 KB |
100 | 1 | 1 | 400 KB |
100 | 100 | 1 | 40000 KB (40 MB) |
100 | 100 | 90 | 40000 * 90 = 3.5 GB |
100 | 100 | 720 (2 yrs) | 40000 * 720 = 29 GB |
Disc Space : Average Log Size * No of Users * No of Files * No of Days
Archive : (Average Log Size * No of Users * No of Files * No of Days) / 10
As the 'Archived' logs will be zipped, the folder size will reduce by 90%, making the zipping ratio as 10:1.
Total Disc Space = Archive + Disk Space
An administrator can configure a threshold value for free disc space. When the free space on the Server goes below the threshold, an alert will be sent to the configured email address.
i. Check size of ev_temp & temp folder & ensure it is empty or having very few files.
ii. Check logs folder size is not more than 1 GB.

Data archiving in ADAudit Plus allows organizations to archive processed audit data to an archive folder by compressing the files to a zip format at the intervals mentioned, ensuring forensic and compliance requirements. The 'days' (in the image below) refers to the number of days the event log data is stored in the Active Database, which will later be archived based on the 'Archive Events' under Admin tab.
