Orion Database size

engineerbaz over 10 years ago

I was receiving Error as DATABASE SIZE WARNING.

I have performed activity for running database maintenance.with following yesterday, Procedure are below.

Look in the solarwinds directory and there is an exe file call Database-Maint.exe kick this file off and fun the utility. This will shrink the access database size greatly and allow for continued monitoring. Depending on the amount of objects your monitoring, you'll need to get used to doing this on a regular basis.

This file extract location is Program file->orion-> Database-Maint.exe

Now I am getting same Error again.

Please suggest whats wrong, or i dont follow the correct step.

How big is your DB and what is the limit on its size (or is it autogrow).
One issue we ran into was the number of traps we were receiving and how long we were storing them. Our TrapVarbinds table was so large that db maintenance could not shrink the db near enough.

Which version of MSSQL are you using? Could it be Express? You may be hitting the 4GB limit on certain released of Microsoft's free SQL offering. 2008 R2 and later use 10GB as its upper database limit.
