    It depends on how much logging you are doing from your firewall.
    The more you log, the more storage that you need.

    @RZX
    Log storage varies wildly depending on how much traffic your firewall sees and how much diagnostic data you're logging. The link @xxup posted is a good starting point.

    Whatever you end up going with, I'd suggest provisioning at least 20% more for wiggle room.

    Hello RZX,

    "...Log store for how long? Depending on disk capacity? ...."
    By default yes. Disk size - 20% = log/report data storage. Dimension
    will fill this space up to 95% then will start to FiFo data.

    You can control data retention by days from Server Management / General / Database size.
