Calculation of database space

The approximate amount of space that must be reserved in the database can be calculated using the following formula:

(600 * C + 2.3 * E + 2.5 * A + 1.2 * N * F), KB

where:

C is the number of devices.
E is the number of events to store.
A is the total number of Active Directory objects:
- Device accounts
- User accounts
- Accounts of security groups
- Active Directory organizational units
If scanning of Active Directory is disabled, A is considered to equal zero.
N is the average number of inventoried executable files on an endpoint device.
F is the number of endpoint devices, where executable files were inventoried.

If you plan to enable (in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security policy settings) notification of Administration Server on applications that you run, you will need additional (0.03 * C) gigabytes to store in the database the information about applications that you run.

During operation, a certain unallocated space is always present in the database. Therefore, the actual size of the database file often turns out to be approximately twice as large as the amount of space occupied in the database.

It is not recommended to limit explicitly the size of the transaction log. It is recommended to leave the default value of the MAXSIZE parameter.
