File size limits

File size limits are determined by the input type (on-demand, sniffer etc).The default limit for each type is set to 200MB for single file and 500MB for uncompressed archives. You view or change the file-size limit with the CLI.

Client Device Connections

A FortiSandbox system has a maximum authorized limit of 50,000 FortiClient endpoints and 10,000 other Fortinet devices. If the device is FortiGate, each VDOM that sends file to FortiSandbox is counted as one device.

Each client device can have multiple concurrent connections to FortiSandbox at one time. These connection are for file transfer and result query. The maximum concurrent connection is 20,000 for FSA 3000E and 3000F models, and 10,000 for all other models.

Full capacity will depend on the model and its system capacity.
