Hardware Photon Sensor Specifications
This article describes both the performance you can expect from your physical Stellar Cyber Photon sensors, as well as details on their physical provisioning.
Modular Sensor Performance Specifications
The table below summarizes the performance you can expect from your physical Photon sensors.
New physical sensors are shipped as modular sensors on Ubuntu 22.04.
| Sensor | Ingestion (Mbps) | Log Forwarding (Events per Second) | Log Forwarder Workers |
