Broker storage

,
1

Hello,

Recently we’ve had to add extra storage files for the Broker as the current Broker.qs.stor became full. After this procedure, the additional storage files tend to grow extremely fast (1GB a week) which is a lot more than prevously although transactions and logging are on the same level.

My two questions are:

  1. What could be the cause of the storage file growing so fast?

  2. Is is possible to remove a storage file by just deleting it? Right now we have:

Broker.qs.stor (2GB)
MoreStorage1.qs.stor (1GB)
MoreStorage2.qs.stor (1GB)
MoreStorage3.qs.stor (2GB)

Would it be safe to just delete MoreStorage1.qs.stor and MoreStorage2.qs.stor?

Best Regadrs

Hi Marek,
to answer your questions :
1 - the size of these files depends on the way you took to create them, when you create it you probably specified a reserved size and a max size. Then you automatically create a file of the size “reserved size”. Then this files while grow until the max size if you have at a time many documents in one of the queue of the broker. This can comes from many reasons (may be one is yours) :
-A persistent client is subscribing for guaranteed documents
