Sophos Protection for Linux Disk space requirements/usage

Question

Hi, 
 How much disk space is Sophos Protection for Linux expected to use with the liveresponse, av, edr, and mtr plugins installed? On my RHEL7 system, it looks to be around 5.3GB. Is this normal? 
 Here are the folder sizes under /opt/sophos-spl/: 
 $ du -h --max-depth=1 /opt/sophos-spl/ 488K /opt/sophos-spl/bin 3.6G /opt/sophos-spl/var 870M /opt/sophos-spl/base 931M /opt/sophos-spl/plugins 4.0K /opt/sophos-spl/shared 60K /opt/sophos-spl/tmp 4.8M /opt/sophos-spl/logs 
 Total: 
 5.3G /opt/sophos-spl/

User4960, 
 This is normal for the file system, but keep in mind that we chroot jail mount a few things that are already on the system out of /opt/sophos-spl/var/sophos-spl-comms/. This makes it appear like they are under a differing directory, but they really aren't "extra" files that we load. 
 The kb here shows that we only use about 1GB on disk: https://docs.sophos.com/releasenotes/index.html?productGroupID=esg&productID=linux_protection&versionID=allVersions
