Edit: Not sure why CP runs this with three separate strings...just copy/paste this and you'll get your numbers (sleeps for 120 seconds):
SLEEP_TIME=120;SIZE_BEFORE=$(ls -l $FWDIR/log/fw.logptr | awk '{print $5}') ; sleep $SLEEP_TIME ; SIZE_AFTER=$(ls -l $FWDIR/log/fw.logptr | awk '{print $5}');expr \( $SIZE_AFTER - $SIZE_BEFORE \) \/ \( 4 \* $SLEEP_TIME \)

Follow these steps to calculate/count the total amount of all FireWall Logs per second that arrive to this Security Management Server from all its managed Security Gateways:
- Connect to CLI on Security Management Server - over SSH, or console.
Note:
On Multi-Domain Management Server, go to the context of the relevant Domain Management Server:[Expert@HostName]# mdsenv [Domain_Name|Domain_IP] - Go to the Log directory:
[Expert@HostName]# cd $FWDIR/log - Check by how much the size of the Pointer File grows during specific time
(the time should be high enough to accumulate enough logs - e.g., 120 sec, 180 sec, etc):
[Expert@HostName]# ls -l fw.logptr ; sleep SLEEP_TIME ; ls -l fw.logptr - Calculate the log rate per this formula:
RATE = ( SIZE_AFTER - SIZE_BEFORE ) / ( 4 * SLEEP_TIME )
Use these three commands to automate the calculations:
[Expert@HostName]# SLEEP_TIME=number_of_seconds
[Expert@HostName]# SIZE_BEFORE=$(ls -l fw.logptr | awk '{print $5}') ; sleep $SLEEP_TIME ; SIZE_AFTER=$(ls -l fw.logptr | awk '{print $5}')
[Expert@HostName]# expr \( $SIZE_AFTER - $SIZE_BEFORE \) \/ \( 4 \* $SLEEP_TIME \)
Note: if the rate value has to be used in a shell script, then use this syntax:
[Expert@HostName]# RATE=$(expr \( $SIZE_AFTER - $SIZE_BEFORE \) \/ \( 4 \* $SLEEP_TIME \))
