Hi All,

Can we someone answer this crazy question shoot by one of our client..

How much size data stores in MySQL DB by 1 host in 1 day ?

If its 1:10 is the host:service ratios.

How can we know such details...

This is dependent on many factors, such as the frequency of the checks, the database retention settings, the type/output of the check, etc. Even with these variables known, we do not have any sizing information that would apply very well as a general statement. Our advice is always to test in a development environment, determine a baseline, and extrapolate from there. This will give you results that are more fitting to your setup.
