Benchmarks and limits

How frequently does an individual system tend to emit log entries?

• EC2 instance serving as a lightly-loaded IRC bouncer
  • 636,638 entries over 430 days ~= 1500 entries per day
  • 850 MB JSON, 700 MB native
• Opentrons Flex with a service stuck in a crash loop
  • ~2,400,000 entries per day
• Random (probably more lightly-used) Opentrons Flex in the office
  • 1,408,012 entries over 24 days ~= 58,667 entries per day
