UNIX and Linux Machines
The projected data file sizing information for UNIX and Linux machines information can vary depending
on your collection filter set and is determined by collected data types and actions. The size can vary from
10–20 MB to more than 100MB. The most likely data types to cause large data growth are File System-File
Structure and System Logs.
The data file size is the estimated amount after an initial data collection with the default filter set.
