Determine the Recommended Number of Endpoints for File Tracing and File Shadowing

Question​

How many computers can you enable File Tracing and File Shadowing for?

Answer​

The maximum number of endpoints for which you can enable File Tracing and File Shadowing is not limited in the Administration Interface. However, enabling this feature for too many endpoints can significantly impact appliance performance due to the volume of logs generated.

  • You should enable File Tracing and File Shadowing for up to 15% of your appliance’s total endpoint capacity to maintain optimal performance.
  • Enabling these features for more than 15% of endpoints, or for all endpoints, may cause your appliance to slow down or become unresponsive due to excessive log data.
  • You can further optimize performance by adjusting settings such as the maximum file size for File Tracing and File Shadowing.

If you have questions about optimizing this feature or experience performance issues, contact Netwrix Technical Support by opening a support ticket on the Netwrix Help Center.
