Question

Recommended settings for FortSandbox

Hi everyone,

 

I'm not so familiar with FortiSandbox at the moment and it's really hard for me to estimate the scanning settings compared to the resources I have on available on my FortiSandbox. Is there some kind of chart that can guide me with recommended settings depending on the licence and resources I have?

 

I'm asking that because I've recently did a test, I've change the number of url scanned on my FortiMail from 3 to 10 but behind that my FortiSandbox has a URL Depth limit of 3 with URL content limit of 50. If I understand correctly, it can scan up to 10*50*50*50=1 250 000 urls per email. The result was a queue getting longer and my emails got delayed by 20 minutes. 

 

Now I went back to 4 URLs on my FortiMail, 3 URL depth and 50 content limit but I don't know if this is the recommended settings for my Sandbox.

 

I have FortiSandbox 1000F with 14 clones.

 

Regards,

 

Lionel

Hi Lionel

I don't have a precise answer, but as per my experience the default values that come with a given firmware version are the recommended ones in terms of security*performance value. So I don't change them unless I really know what I'm doing.
