*The following table recommends the disk space and RAM
size requirements of the system where Firewall Analyzer is
installed. The disk space and RAM size requirements depends
on the number of devices sending log information to Firewall
Analyzer, the number of firewall log records received per
second or the firewall log data received per day by Firewall
Analyzer.

# For analyzing firewall logs from more than 10 devices it is preferable to install Firewall Analyzer in a dedicated machine with dual
processor:
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 <FirewallAnalyzerHome>\bin directory,
with the following MySQL parameters changes
for the corresponding RAM Size.
