Hi,

Can anyone tell me what this message / warning is?

Warning: Purge Warning - Nearing High Water Mark of 90 currently using 80.015% of total capacity

I started to get this today, and I'm not sure what it is telling me.

Thanks.

Hi Michael,

In DCE, go to the system menu, Server Administration Settings, and Storage Settings. You will see that your local repository is at 80% or higher. Click on the "Purge Settings" tab and you will see the configuration that is causing this message:

You can either change these values or you can turn off the e-mails. If you've had this system running for quite some time, it's probably normal but if it's only been up for a few months, it would seem to be saving quite a bit of data. Either way it will automatically purge bases on the above settings.

Another option would be to use the manual purge option on the lower section of that page. You can choose which subset of data you wish to purge from the system. Keep in mind images from surveillance take up much more data then data points from a temperature probe.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Michael,

If this is a VM DCE I would also check your HDD size. If this is a relatively recent installation you should not be running out of space yet unless:

1. Not enough HDD space was allocetd to DCE when building the VM
2. Default HDD was expanded instead of adding additional HDD in which case DCE will still see only ~4Gb of storage regardless of how much storage was allocated to VM.
