Mavis Session Recording Feature Explanation and File Size Clarification

  • Updated

Mavis offers a session recording feature designed to allow users to record and replay critical operational steps for the purpose of review and tracking of operational history. We recognize that the file size of this feature may be a concern for users, and thus, we will provide an explanation.

 

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Will the file size of Mavis session recordings be large?
    • The session recording feature of Mavis records operational steps in text format rather than storing them in video mode.
    • However, we still offer video playback functionality, enabling users to replay the operational process.
    • It is worth noting that these video files are stored in text format, resulting in relatively smaller storage space requirements.
  2. What is the file size of SSH tests?
    • Scenario: Executing the Mavis deployment script installation
    • Duration: 10 minutes
    • File Size: 45 KiB
  3. What is the file size of RDP tests?
    • Scenario: Downloading and installing Telnet and PuTTY software
    • Duration: 10 minutes
    • File Size: 13 MiB (13312 KiB)
  4. When using SSH connections, will the sensitive information and commands I enter be recorded? Will this lead to a leakage of confidential information?
    • When handling SSH connections, Mavis records the screen output of the commands (e.g., STDOUT/STDERR), not the keystrokes. This means that only the output results of the executed commands are recorded, and the specific content you type into the terminal is not logged. Therefore, confidential information such as passwords will not be recorded.
  5. What are the concurrent connection user (CCU) limits for the different types of connections supported by Mavis? Are there relevant data for Web Console, RDP, and SSH connections?

    • Our stress test report provides the CCU limits for various connection types, for your reference. Here are the test results:

      • Test Environment:

        • CPU: 4 cores
        • RAM: 16 GB
        • Storage: 40 GB

      • Server Connection:

        • SSH: The maximum number of concurrent connections is approximately 200. (e.g., Adding an extra 1 core and 1 GB RAM can support an additional 200 concurrent SSH connections.)
        • RDP: The maximum number of concurrent connections is approximately 50-60.
        • Web Console: Each additional Web application connection typically consumes around 1.x GB of RAM. A web application consumes approximately 30m CPU and 128Mi memory per session, allowing up to 29 sessions with a 4-core/16GB configuration.

      • These figures are for reference purposes. The actual CCU limits may vary based on system configuration and usage conditions. If you have specific needs or require further optimization advice, please feel free to contact us. We are dedicated to providing you with support and assistance.

 

Troubleshooting：

If you encounter file size issues while using the session recording feature, please ensure that your system has sufficient storage space.
