I am trying to get an idea as to how well vRLI logs will compress on our SAN. I know we can encrypt the logs in transit, but I don't think they are encrypted at rest.
Additionally, I don't know what format the logs are in, so cannot forward this information to our SAN vendor to get them to estimate the compression we will receive. From what I can see, the logs appear to be compressed by vRLI, so I'm guessing that we might not get any further benefit from our SAN-level compression anyhow.
Any additional information on this would be appreciated.
Yes vRLI stores events in compressed format.
When the event is passed through the vRealize Log Insight ingestion pipeline, the following steps occur:
Hope this helps.

Yes, that answers the compression question nicely, thank you.
You didn't mention anything about encryption though. Are they encrypted at rest?
no
Thank you for the answer.
