Hey Brian,

What are your log sources? Servers, routers, ids, firewalls?

I don't know of any formula, as device type and environments are the
main driver of how logs are generated. Environments and device
configurations are very dynamic so it's really hard to calculate such
numbers ahead of time.

In my experience, Firewalls log the most events, followed by IDS, then
router, servers, switches, etc.

If you can provide more detail as to what you will be monitoring, maybe
we can help.

Thanks,

-Johnny
