maelstrm 0 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi Anthony (et al), I've noticed DriveBender is storing lots of large (>200mb) log files in ProgramData. The filenames are "HealthMonitorAudit", and they're totalling 2.6GB going back 3 months (to late March). This seems like a bit of a waste of SSD space since I have DB set to no logging - is this happening by design and can I turn it off via a standard setting I've overlooked? If not is it something that can/should be adjusted? Cheers for any insight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
w3wilkes 200 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 You should definitely open a support ticket with this question https://support.division-m.com/hc/en-us/requests/new I would tend to agree that we should be able to shut this off. CBers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ruralcricket 19 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I thought I'd share my stats. Some files are very old!

CBers 107 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I have 27 FILES on the Logs folder, going back 1 month.Total size is 367MB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 263 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 There should be a max of 10 sil files, and a similar number for the other logs (can't recall the exact number, need to check). Let me look into this... we are just finishing dev work DB v3, so if there is an issue we would want it sorted before it's release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let me look into this... we are just finishing dev work DB v3, so if there is an issue we would want it sorted before it's release. Hi Anthony, I've just run a drive space review and found that the DriveBender log directory is now over 12gb! The big files all start with "HealthMonitorAudit". The oldest is from 14 October 2018 and most recent is from 15 August 2019. There are 41 HealthMonitorAudits in the folder. Each file is about 300mb, with a trend of growing over time (a few exceptions to this, perhaps because the machine was turned off during audits?) It seems to be a list of every single file on my drive pool with a couple of attributes (IsDup, IsAudited, VolumeName, etc). I'm running DriveBender 3.1.0.0 and as far as I can see I have logging off (eg Settings>Performance>Logging Level = None). Is there a log for the HealthMonitor I need to disable, or some kind of switch so it only keeps 1-2 logs? In the interim can I delete the old logs manually as a workaround? Is this normal behavior?

w3wilkes 200 Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 12GB seems quite large. My total for the log folder is only 428MB. Your best shot for a quick response is to open a support ticket to ask Anthony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oj88 26 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 I just opened a ticket. I was wondering why my SSD system drive was running out of space. To my surprise, the DB log files I have total to just a few bytes shy of 60GB! That's dating back to Jan or Feb this year. I asked two things.... 1. Can it be safely trimmed down or removed altogether? 2. Can it be moved to a different, non-SSD drive? And in doing so, will the performance degrade? UPDATE: After receiving a reply from Anthony, I went ahead and deleted all the files under the Logs directory. The server is still up and my SSD can breathe again.
