Maximum storage size
is a measure of how much network data (in the form of
packets) can be retained by the GigaStor Software Edition before the oldest
GigaStor data is removed in a first-in first-out (FIFO) storage scheme. The
maximum storage size is not an indication of how much disk space the GigaStor
Software Edition will consume on your hard disk. For example, the program
files and libraries, storage of network trending data (not packets), and other
executables are not governed by your GSE license and do not count towards the
maximum storage capacity.
Network trending storage is a separate issue from packet capture storage and
they are not connected in any way except both require writing data to the hard
drive. When estimating file size, retention, and system maintenance, you may
want to look at the system holistically and consider both simultaneously. Read
more about network trending in
Configuring your network trending settings

How to determine disk space requirements for network trending
Because network trending can consume a lot of disk space, you need to know
how much disk space to reserve.
Network trending data consumes hard disk space. Depending on
and your storage requirements for network trending data, the
network trending data could fill that drive to full capacity—this is a problem.
Therefore, determine your typical 24-hour data rate and how many days of
trending data you want to retain. The result indicates how much storage space is
required.
To determine the amount of space required to store your desired amount of
trending data:
1.
Determine your typical 24-hour data rate.
Example:
15 MB or 20 GB.
The
data rate
is amount of trending data collected in one 24-hour period.
2.
Multiply your typical 24-hour data rate by the number of days you want to
retain.
Example:
15 MB x 365 days = 5.475 GB
Example:
20 GB x 30 days = 600 GB
The result is the amount of hard drive space required to retain the trending data.
You can use the numbers you calculated to inform your decisions when
Using the GigaStor Control Panel
This section covers the GigaStor Control Panel, its settings, and its use when you
choose
GigaStor
from the
Capture
group in the
Home
tab.
Note:
Packet decoding, Connection Dynamics, and analysis types like TCP,
UDP, or VoIP Events are covered elsewhere.
After the GigaStor probe is up and running on the network, you can use an
Observer to view captures from the probe. In the Observer you use a special
section of the analyzer called the GigaStor Control Panel. The major section of
