And now you have it AGAIN with edition #5 - through the sheer combined genius of Andrew Hay and myself, Anton Chuvakin. Our topic today is scaling and sizing log management and SIEM: scalability, sizing, estimating log volumes, hard EPS limits (evil!), scalability of the entire system vs component scalability, peak vs ongoing log rates, EPS, petabytes of logs, “log math”, capacity planning as well as how to “slap your vendor” (obviously, a quote is from Andrew, not myself
) in regards to the scalability of their tools.Some administrative items:
- We plan for this to happen periodically, such as maybe every three weeks - recorded on Wednesday, posted on Thursday. However, due to our work schedules, irregularities occur all the time. If you have not seen or heard a new LogChat podcast for a few weeks, be aware that we are not dead; just busy taking over the world.
- No, we are still not ready with transcribing and, yes, we still want it. I did try Amazon Mechanical Turk, but it didn't turn to be as inexpensive as people claimed. If you have ideas for a good AND cheap transcribing service, we are all ears.
- Please suggest topics to cover as well - even though we are not likely to run out of ideas for a few years.
- Any other feedback is HUGELY useful. Is it too long? Too loud? Too rant-y? Too technical? Not enough jokes? Too few mentions of the "cloud"? Feedback please!
Enjoy THE LogChat!
