Disk size recommendations for syslog server

[Broekman, Maarten]

Ken,
	How many servers are you looking at logging?  What syslog level?
What is your retention policy?

	A basic rule of thumb would be to look at several of your
servers and see how large /var/log is just multiply it out by the number
of systems.  Then add some slop-space for growth or unexpectedly high
activity.

Well depends on the type of usage, but I guess 500 GB should be more
than
sufficient.
Thanks!
