Hi guys!

After install DLM dashboard on a production server, the size of the database increased too much! Before DLM the backup file size was 80mb and after installation it's now more than 140mb!

I've installed DLM on a developer computer and added the production server to monitor. On the developer computer we've uninstalled DLM but the size of database backup still big.

Is there an way to uninstall and clean some data that could be produced in the database by DLM?

Regards,

Jr

    Hi Jr,

    I am not sure if I fully understood your question, so please feel free to correct me if I got it wrong.

    Aspects about DLM Dashboard which I believe are relevant in your situation:

    - DLM Dashboard does not add data to any monitored Databases
    - It creates a single Database, named Redgate, on all the monitored servers

    If you want to to completely remove Dashboard from a server please run the following script:
    http://documentation.red-gate.com/downl ... 227&api=v2

    and delete the "Redgate" DB.

    Thank you,

    Ok Sergio, thanks for your reply!

    Yes, you're right! The reason why the db size increased too much wasn't cause by DLM! We've discovered that a lot of data were saved to the db and I thought that the reason was DLM!

    Now I know that DLM doesn't save any data in my monitored database, it's easier to realize any anormal behavior in our database!

    Best regards,

    Jr
