LM Collector behind a Fortinet Firewall
For security reason a collector has to be behind a Fortinet Firewall, i mean between the collector and the LM data center. I have to determine the FW requeriments in terms of throughput and sessions number in order to be able to work flawlessly with 500+ devices. I will be monitoring all the performance of a Cisco network including interfaces status. Is there any way to calculate this data?
Kind regards.
It is best to get an actual sample from your environment since environments can vary so much. Maybe check the traffic between a current collector which has similar number of devices. You can do a wireshark capture and see the traffic for about an hour and then use that as a basis for calculation. This document may give some clues - https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/collectors/collector-overview/collector-capacity - but will not be specific to your environment. So best to get an actual sample.
