Calculating database storage requirements
A corporation follows this policy for running audits:
• The company retains audit results for one year.
• One audit runs every three days on 2,000 systems. The table does not include this value,
so we approximate this to two audits per week running on 2,000 systems.
• Five monthly audits run on 5,000 systems.
• One yearly audit runs on 150,000 systems. The table does not include this value, but it is
equivalent to three yearly audits on 50,000 systems.
• Two quarterly audits run on 10,000 systems.
Calculate the approximate database size:
1 Look up the corresponding values in the table under Requirements table for database
sizing, and note these results:
Database size (GB)=...running on number of systemsAudit frequency...
2842,000 systems2 weekly audits
4105,000 systems5 monthly audits
20450,000 systems (3 × 68 = 204)3 yearly audits
10910,000 systems2 quarterly audits
2 Calculate the total amount of space needed:
284 + 410 + 204 + 109 = 1,007 GB
Database storage requirements for File Integrity Monitoring
File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) allows you to designate a set of files to monitor for changes.
McAfee Policy Auditor software monitors the MD5 and SHA-1 hashes of a file as well as the
file attributes and permissions information. When a file changes, the McAfee Policy Auditor
agent plug-in notes the change and sends an event back to the server.
