Estimate the Size of a Log
The size of your S3 logs depends on the number of events that occur and the volume of the traffic in your organization.
- Download one of your Secure Access log files. The Secure Access log file is a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
- Count the number of rows in the CSV file minus one for the header row.
The number of rows is equivalent to the number of events in the twenty-four hour period.
- Multiply the number of rows of data by the number of bytes of data listed in a single row in the file.
The result is the estimate of the size of the event log recorded for one day.
