Data size estimates
The Data Incident and Configuration Database is different from the Web and Email Log Databases in that it stores both configuration and log data. In addition, it logs only policy violations, not all events. In order to estimate the potential size of the Incident and Configuration Database, consider the following:
| Feature | Impact on Database Size |
|---|---|
| Discovery incidents | 14 KB per incident |
| (not standard when all | Typically, no more than 3.5 GB total |
| Forcepoint products are | |
| installed) | |
| Network and endpoint incidents |
10 KB per incident Typically, 30 KB per user per month |
| User directory import data |
8 KB per record Typically, no more than 1 GB total |
| Configuration data | 200 MB |
As a general guideline, it is unlikely that your Data Incident and Configuration Database will require more than 9 GB of storage total, no matter how many users are in your environment.
The volume of configuration and incident data varies based on your use of Forcepoint DLP features as explained in Factors that affect reporting database size.
