Scenario:
License requirements: You need a syslog-ng Store Box license for at least 100 Log Source Host (LSH) as there are 90 LSHs (45+45=90) in this scenario.
Scenario:
License requirements: You need a syslog-ng Store Box license for at least 200 LSHs as there are 190 LSHs (45+45 that send logs to a syslog-ng PE log server, and another 100 that run syslog-ng PE, 45+45+100=190) in this scenario.
Scenario:
License requirements: You need a syslog-ng Store Box license for at least 200 LSH as there are 195 LSHs (45+5+(5*9)+100=195) in this scenario.
You have two facilities (for example, data centers or server farms). Facility 1 has 75 AIX servers and 20 Microsoft Windows hosts, Facility 2 has 5 HP-UX servers and 40 Debian servers. That is 140 hosts altogether.
NOTE: If, for example, the 40 Debian servers at Facility 2 are each running 3 virtual hosts, then the total number of hosts at Facility 2 is 125, and the license sizes in the following examples should be calculated accordingly.
Scenario: The log messages are collected to a single, central SSB log server.
License requirements: You need a syslog-ng Store Box license for 150 LSH as there are 140 LSHs (75+20+5+40) in this scenario.
Scenario: Each facility has its own SSB log server, and there is no central log server.
License requirements: You need two separate licenses: a license for at least 95 LSHs (75+20) at Facility 1, and a license for at least 45 LSHs (5+40) at Facility 2. You need a license for 100 LSHs at Facility 1, and a license for 50 LSHs at Facility 2.
Scenario: The log messages are collected to a single, central SSB log server. Facility 1 and 2 each have a syslog-ng PE relay that forwards the log messages to the central SSB log server.
License requirements: You need a syslog-ng Store Box license for 150 LSH as there are 142 LSHs (1+75+20+1+5+40) in this scenario (since the relays are also counted as an LSH).
Scenario: Each facility has its own local SSB log server, and there is also a central SSB log server that collects every log message independently from the two local log servers.
License requirements: You need three separate licenses. A syslog-ng Store Box a license for at least 95 LSHs (75+20) at Facility 1, a license for at least 45 LSHs (5+40) at Facility 2, and also a license for at least 142 LSHs for the central syslog-ng Store Box log server (assuming that you want to collect the internal logs of the local log servers as well).
