Requerimientos de sistema para Firewall Analyzer


  • Requerimientos de Hardware
  • Parámetros para mejorar el rendimiento de MySql
  • ¿Cómo poner a punto el tamaño de las tablas de MySQL basado en la RAM disponible?
  • Sistemas operativos soportados
  • Navegadores ( Web Browsers) soportados

Las requerimientos mínimos de hardware para instalar y trabajar con Firewall Analyzer son:

  • 1GHz Pentium 4 processor o equivalente
  • 512 MB de RAM*
  • 1 GB de espacio en disco*
  • Monitor que soporte una resolución de 1024x768

*La siguiente tabla recomienda el espacio en disco y de RAM requeridos del sistema donde se instalada Firewall Analyzer. El espacio de disco y de RAM dependen del número de dispositivos que enviaran información al Firewall Analyzer, el número de registros recibidos por segundo o por día que deberán ser registrados por el Firewall Analyzer.

Log Records Rate o Volume Tamaño RAM Espacio de disco duro requerido
por mes para archivar bitácoras
50/sec o 1.5 GB/día 512 MB 30 GB
100/sec o 3 GB/día 1 GB 90 GB
300/sec o 9 GB/día 2 GB 270 GB
500/sec o 15 GB/día 2 GB 450 GB
1000/sec o 30 GB/día 3 GB 900 GB
2000/sec o 60 GB/día 4 GB 1.8 TB

Requisitos de CPU

  • Se debe dedicar un equipo para procesar más de 200 logs por segundo.
  • Se requiere doble procesador para procesar más de 500 logs por segundo.
  • Se requiere cuadruple procesador para procesar más de 1000 logs por segundo.

Requisitos de RAM

  • Number of firewalls handled by the Firewall Analyzer will increase the requirement of the above RAM values. So it is better to have RAM value higher than the suggested value in case of having more than 5 firewalls.

Instalación separada

  • Firewall Analyzer server and MySQL database can be installed in separate machines, in case of higher log rate with low-end CPU machines.

Requerimientos de disco duro para más meses

  • The above Hard Disk space requirement projected is for one month. If you need to archive the logs for more number of months, multiply the above requirements with the number of months based on your requirement.

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 <FirewallAnalyzerInicio>\bin directory, with the following MySQL parameters changes for the corresponding RAM Size. Apart from MySQL parameter changes, you can also tune MySQL table sizes based on RAM availabililty to improve MySQL performance.

¿Cómo poner a punto el tamaño de las tablas de MySQL basado en la RAM disponible?

In addition to MySQL parameter changes, one needs to change the "BATCH_SIZE" used for moving the data from and to report tables. To configure the BATCH_SIZE, follow the below mentioned steps,

1. Login to FWA Web-Client.
2. Type in the following URL, "http://<Name/IP of m/c in which FWA is installed>:8500/fw/dmConfig.do". 8500 is default web-server port.
3. This will show the current "BATCH_SIZE" configured by default.
4. Based on the RAM available in the machine, please configure the parameters and click on "Save Changes" button.

RAM Size Batch Size Recommended
1 GB Raw Table = 20000
Hourly Table = 30000
2 GB Raw Table = 30000
Hourly Table = 40000
Above 2 GB Raw Table = 50000
Hourly Table = 40000
