Calculations for the Sandbox component

The hardware requirements for a server with the Sandbox component depend on the type and volume of processed traffic and on the permissible object scan time.

By default, the permissible object scan time is 1 hour. To reduce this time, you need a more powerful server or more servers with the Sandbox component.

It is recommended to calculate the configuration of the Sandbox component as follows:

  1. Install the Central Node and Sensor components on one server and the Sandbox component on a different server for pilot operation of the program.

    To receive sufficient statistical data, the program must process traffic of the organization for a week.

  2. Run the data recording script by executing the following commands:

    kata-collect --output-dir path-to-folder

    --output-dir <path to directory>

    When the script finishes running, the collect.tar.gz archive will be moved to the specified directory.

  3. Forward this archive to Kaspersky Lab staff for analysis.

    If multiple virtual machines are started simultaneously, the speed of processing objects from the queue is increased.
