Question by Harshal B. · Nov 01, 2012 at 12:20 PM ·

Running out of low disk space

Hi,

I am running out of low disk space on dynatrace server. I have tried deleting saved sessions but still not able to create the new ones.

While I was referring the location "\server\repository\dynaTrace4\seg0", I can see there are few *.dat Files created consuming very large space. Should I go ahead and delete them directly to generate some space ?

Also guide me for the documentation wherein I can read about how to manage the disk space.

Is it possible that you use the Embedded Performance Warehouse and not a "real" database such as SQL Server, DB2 or Postgre? The directory you mention is used when you run on the embedded warehouse which is ONLY SUGGESTED for Demo and Evaluation purposes of dynaTrace. When you run dynaTrace in your Dev, Test or Prod Environment you must use an external performance warehouse

Let me know if I am correct with my assumption. If so you should really move to a real database where your measures are stored. The Embedded not only consumes disk space on your dynaTrace server - it also runs "embedded" in the dynaTrace server and with that takes away memory and CPU.

Hi Andi,

Yes you are correct! Currently I am using the embedded performance warehouse for a sort of Demo purpose.
Its not a live system on which I am working so deleting any files wouldnt be a problem as such for me.
But on the similar lines I wanted to understand what are the important files and which ones are cache.

I see currently *.dat files are consuming lot of disk space so wanted to delete unwanted files.

These are the files the embedded warehouse uses to persist the data. so - if you delete these files you will corrupt the embedded perfwarehouse

if you want to remove unwanted data in the warehouse I suggest to go to the Tools->Server Settings->Performance Warehouse->System Profiles Management and remove unwanted data from there
Under Storage Management you can also configure how we aggregate data and whether or not you want to purge low resolution data. More information on that can be found here: Performance Warehouse Administration

Hi Andi,

Thanks for providing a solution towards it. I have tried removing some of the unwanted data from System Profile Management tab. It has cleared some space for me and I also tried deleting unwanted data from my disk which also helped here.
