Max entries in a vault

avatar

Hi

I have heard that max entries in a vault is around 5000.

Then the question is do sub connections also count?

Example:
If you have 1000 entries, with 6 sub connections each is that count as 6000?

Hello Acetico,

Thank you for contacting us on that matter!

5000 is a recommendation but there is a lot of factors that must be taken into account. If you do not experience performance issues after going over this limit, this means that you do not need to worry.

This has to do with who I am going to putt inn some new entries.

I do not want to be close to the max count.

So is a sub connection as bad as an entry?

Like for every question, the answer here is : it depends

Yes, they are "as bad". Actually, in some cases, it can be worst. Say for a simple calculation, 1000 connections with 4 sub-connections each (5000 total) will give you about the same performance as 5000 sessions, all things being equal.

We have customers with vaults containing 5000+ sessions with very good performance and others with 800 sessions with bad performance. Things like custom images, how deep you have your tree structure/hierarchy and others all affect the performance.

Note: In the future sub-connections will convert to a normal session instead of actual sub-connections. The difference will be transparent to the user but will allow us to have things like attachments linked to sub-connections which are currently not possible.

P.S.: When I run my performance tests I run them on vaults containing 15000+ sessions to try to find the bottle necks in the code. Since most or very much data-driven each time some reports a performance issue, I adjust my data set and test some more.

That was the clarification I needed.

Thank you very much.
