Back to the Blog, I have a python script that didnt quite make it in the new Cisco MARS Book.
This script can help with Sizing Cisco MARS boxes, you simply run the python script against syslog, to get an idea of min and max events per second.
This is very much a work in progress, and it is open source has been released under the BSD license.
I have put this script in the MARS User Group downloads section.
Please feel free to modify/update this to your needs, and share your results with the group.
There are some internationalization issues with it at the present time, so you may need to tweak the code, to get your timestamps correct.
Thanks to Greg Kellogg for this.
