Hello everyone,
We've been using ArcGIS entreprise for a few years now (classic deployement, single server). Those last few months, we consumed 20 additional Gb per month, which is not really sustainable on the long run. This increase coincides more or less with the 11.1 update, but I'm not sure if this is related.
When I monitor the D drive, where everything is installed, I see that most of that storage consumption (140go) is linked to the folder ArcGISDataStore>pgdata>base>16401. All files are capped at 1go and I don't understand how they relate to my Portal's items. I understand that pgdata is useful for postgresql functionning.
We've around 2000 items, including 500 maps configured for offline mode (sync enabled), around 25 dashboards and 200 users (mostly viewers). We don't use hosted rasters. We also regularly truncate and populate several hosted feature layers with data from Microsoft SQL server (daily FME scripts). NB: Those specific items appear as having 0b size on the Portal, despite being sometimes composed of dozens of thousands of polygons.
That storage consumption may be justified, but I need a way to manage it on our server. When I generate a report of all Portal's items, sorted by size, the total is only around 1Gb, which is far from the 140go of pgdata folder.
NB: ESRI's support has not been able to help me on this topic since July 2023. I'm trying to find a way to better manage my storage and to identify which items are consumming the most. Is it coming from the features layers themsleves, dashboards, offline sync, ghost backup, etc. ?
Thank you in advance
Arnaud
