[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt 4.5.2 /var growing rapidly due to ovirt_engine_history db

Hi Aviv We are still observing this issue. dwh db is increasing very rapidly. So far we are unable to find what is causing so much increasing. These are top tables consuming disk space. I added entry in the root crontab to vacuum the db but it did not work. public.host_interface_samples_history | 56 GB public.host_interface_hourly_history | 11 GB public.vm_disks_usage_samples_history | 8819 MB public.vm_interface_samples_history | 3396 MB public.vm_samples_history | 2689 MB public.host_interface_configuration | 2310 MB public.vm_disk_samples_history | 1839 MB public.vm_disks_usage_hourly_history | 1210 MB public.vm_device_history | 655 MB public.vm_interface_hourly_history | 536 MB public.vm_hourly_history | 428 MB public.statistics_vms_users_usage_hourly | 366 MB public.vm_disk_hourly_history | 330 MB public.host_samples_history | 140 MB public.host_interface_daily_history | 77 MB public.calendar | 40 MB public.host_hourly_history | 24 MB public.vm_disk_configuration | 19 MB public.vm_interface_configuration | 16 MB public.vm_configuration | 14 MB public.vm_disks_usage_daily_history | 11 MB public.vm_interface_daily_history | 4992 kB public.storage_domain_samples_history | 4312 kB public.vm_daily_history | 4088 kB public.vm_disk_daily_history | 3048 kB public.statistics_vms_users_usage_daily | 2816 kB public.cluster_configuration | 1248 kB public.host_configuration | 1136 kB public.storage_domain_hourly_history | 744 kB public.tag_relations_history | 352 kB This the row count in host_interface_samples_history table. ovirt_engine_history=# select count(*) from host_interface_samples_history; count ----------- 316633499 I had no choice except to truncate the table. But in next 3-4 hours count again increased too much ovirt_engine_history=# select count(*) from host_interface_samples_history; count --------- 8743168 (1 row) So even if we move dwh to separate vm it will use the disk space in few days. I applied below recommendations also but it did not make any change. # cat ovirt-engine-dwhd.conf # # These variables control the amount of memory used by the java # virtual machine where the daemon runs: # DWH_HEAP_MIN=1g DWH_HEAP_MAX=3g # Recommendation as per oVirt Guide in case dwh and engine are on same machine #https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/data_warehouse_guide/#Installing_and_Configuring_Dat#a_Warehouse_on_a_Separate_Machine_DWH_admin DWH_TABLES_KEEP_HOURLY=780 DWH_TABLES_KEEP_DAILY=0 Is there anything else we can check further to find what is causing so much increase? Please let me know if you need any further information. Regards Sohail
