Step 2: Determine the hard disk drive footprint for each attribute group
Determine the hard disk drive footprint for each attribute group. The result generated by this formula gives an estimate of the amount of disk space used for this attribute group for 24 hours worth of data for a single agent.
Use the following equation:
(# detailed records) * (attribute group detailed record size) / 1024where:
- # detailed records
- The number of detailed records for the attribute. This is the value you calculated in Step 1: Determine the number of detailed records per day for each attribute group.
- attribute group detailed record size
- The detailed record size for the attribute group. See the agent user's guide for this value.
- 1024
- Represents 1 KB and causes the equation to generate a kilobyte number instead of a byte number.
