WSA maximum number of entries in an External Feed-file (Cisco Format)

[fw_mon]

what is maximum number of entries in in an External Feed-file (Cisco Format).

For example I need to define a custom dest category with 500.000 entries - would it work?

yes it works technically, but what is the need of so many ? the more you add it more delay bare in mind.

what model of WSA, i would suggest to gradually add and monitor delays.

Thank you BB for fast repsponse. Can you provide a link to the documentation that mentions max number of entries?

BTW, I found in BRKSEC-3303 on the page 22: "Try avoiding having more than 1000 lines in per External Feed File "

hello @fw_mon 

kindly see this please 

You can use no more than 30 External Live Feed files in these URL category definitions, and each file should contain no more than 5000 entries. Increasing the number of external feed entries causes performance degradation.

from user guide User Guide for AsyncOS 14.5 for Cisco Secure Web Appliance - GD (General Deployment) 

under section : Creating and Editing Custom URL Categories

also please advise that, more entries will have more impact on the performance
