Agent used all server space

We had an interesting event last week.
One of our Exchange servers had the application log suddenly start being filled up rapidly with errors from Forefront.   the SCOM agent on the Exchange server then started creating a lot of temporary files, and then the Exchange server ran out
of space.
Digging around in SCOM I found an error about it could not uploaded a file to Ops Insights due to it being over 500Mb.  Here I must apologise, but I can't find where I saw the message or the exact wording now.  I thought it was in the Operational
Log, but it seems that log started overwriting events before I had a change to go back and relook at the issue and take more notes. And I can't find the error anywhere else.
We dumped the large files, removed the server from Ops Insights, and everything is happy again.
I've attached a screenshot of the files that were created that our Exchange engineer sent to me.  Hopefully it might help the Ops Team investigate or do some testing in that area.

Uploaded/downloaded files could be various things - MP distribution, file upload... hard to tell from just screenshots.
A wild guess of an IP that uses the file upload mechanism for files that could be large, would be IIS logs - look at this thread
http://feedback.azure.com/forums/267889-azure-operational-insights/suggestions/6519344-advisor-stopped-collecting-iis-log-data-is-it-bec if the machine has IIS (I believe exchange needs it) make sure you configure the log rollover policy as described

  • How can I make app use all available space in window?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to embed my flash app in a browser window and have
    it use all available space. I've found plenty of tutorials online
    that tell me how to make it take up the whole window, and they
    work, but that isn't what I want. I have other content on the page
    (a bar of links across the top). I thus want the flash app to take
    up the full width and almost all the hight, leaving enough vertical
    space for the link bar at the top. Right now, I have it set to 100%
    for both height and width in the object tag, and it displays the
    link bar, but the bottom of the flash gets chopped off (an amount
    exactly equal to the height of the link bar). It seems that setting
    height=100% means 100% of the full window height, not the unused
    height. Is there any way to make it do what I want?

    I believe the 100% will be relative to the parent container
    of the Object/Embed tag.
    If the Flex app is in say, a DIV that is correctly sized,
    then 100% will fill the DIV. So I think you will need to get your
    div sizing dynamically. A CSS expression maybe?

  • ITunes Match on the iPhone 4 uses all free space

    iTunes Match on the iPhone 4 uses all available space (8GB). The deactivation and reactivation does not work. The problem persists! Even unplugging the Apple ID and opening the Music app there are still all the artists, playlists, albums, etc. etc. (in the settings app music occupies 0 bytes! Have not saved songs). I have already restored three times! restarting iPhone available space returns to 8GB, opening the Music app after a few minutes iOS noted that the space is occupied.
    iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS regularly work with the same Apple ID!
    Any advice?

    I am also reporting the same behavior.  I, like billybaloney, have an almost "topped-out" iTunes Match collection (I actually have to manage keeping the matched content under the Apple 25K limit, but that is a different matter).  Whenever I open Music app on my phone - 4S, iOS 7.11 - I see my available storage go to nil, and I start getting the "Storage Almost Full" messages.  Which, if you have received them, also puts a significant drag on the performance of the device. 
    I am fully aware of the download locally (device) of "played" content, so I expect the number of songs and albums I have played to be resident on the phone after, and that requiring manual cleanup.  I can see this by taking the phone offline (airplane mode, or literally out of coverage), and then opening the Music app and seeing only what is truly on the device.
    I suspect that the "eater of free space" in the iTunes Match arena, for users with a large library of iCloud selections, is as simple as the iTunes library info to render for selection (not the music, but the artist, album, song and playlist lists, and the album artwork).  Resetting your phone is a PITA for workaround.  Something needs to be done, but I have a feeling nothing will.  Or it will require an iOS update to a newer version that my devices won't be eligible to load. 
    Any insight or help would be great.  Workarounds are only that: work arounds.  Solution is what is needed.

  • While no applications are running, something is writing to the HD, using all available space

    Very strange issue - This a White Mac Book, probably 6 years old, running 10.8.4 with 4g ram, 160G HD.
    There's some process writing to the hard drive while no applications are running, using all the available disk space. I can watch the available space become less and less. At the same time, everytime I try to move anything to the trash, I get a prompt to authenticate. Once a password is entered, the files don't get put into the trash, but become deleted right away.
    Things I've done to attempt to correct:
    Flash P-Ram - no effect
    fsck -fy from single user - disk structure is ok, no errors.
    Run verify and repair permissions from the recovery partition. Had no effect.
    There is no AV app installed, but there's no space to install to check for viruses. Whatever is writing to the disk uses any available space which won't allow anything to be installed.
    Can't create a new user as there's no disk space.
    Only option I see is reinstalling the OS which I'm trying to avoid if I can.
    Any thoughts/Suggestions? Thanks.

    If you haven't done so, try a Safe Mode boot ..
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
    If that doesn't help, try locating a diagnostics log file.
    Open the Console app located in HD > Applications > Utilites
    Select:  System Diagnostic Reports  on the left.
    Copy and paste the most recent kernel panic or crash log in your Reply.
    Hopefully that will narrow down the problem.

  • Calendar agent using all memory.

    I am running a late 2012 iMac running Mavricks. This morning my computer hung. After rebooting it it hung again in a few minutes. I ran activity monitor and noticed that the calendar agent process slowing uses all the memory and then the OS starts using virutal memory on disk causing the computer to be ususable. I found an article to run off the calendar agent that fixes the issue for now.
    launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
    Does anyone know why this all of a sudden would happen? I have not made any changes to my system recently, I use Gmail for my email and calendar.
    Thanks!

    I am using MacBook Pro 2014 Retina Display. Initially came with Mavericks and upgraded to Yosemite (10.10.2).
    Had the same Problem. Calendar Agent took nearly 6 to 7 GB of the RAM and left me with 15MB ram. Got really irritated. But found this after a hard struggle. I tried the above solutions, think didn’t quite work for me.
    Follow the steps you will get your problem solved.
    Backup all the calendar events to your iCloud by enabling calendar in the internet accounts from system preferences. (Do this step only if you need your events to be there).
    Then open TERMINAL and type.
    chflags nohidden /Users/*******/Library
    ******* represents your username or the name in which your mac is started with. This name can be seen from "Macintosh HD” then “Users” then the user which you are..
    After running the command then again type in TERMINAL
    chflags nohidden /Users/*******/Library/Containers
    Now close the TERMINAL after running it.
    Now, open finder and goto "Macintosh HD” then to “Users” then the user which you are then “Library” then “Calendars”.
    In “Calendars” you have got to delete some files.
    Those are:
    Calendar Cache
    Calendar Cache- shm
    Calendar Cache- wal
    Email Cache.plist
    Actually after deleting it,restarting PC solves the problem.
    Sometimes you can’t delete those files because the Calendar Agent uses them and is running in background.
    For that you have got to open Activity Monitor and Force Quit Calendar Agent and delete.
    Restart your PC. Then open Calendar. Nothing happens and is back to normal.

  • I have used all my space in hd on iMac

    iMac from ultimo 2009, 1 TB HD, 12 GB ram, I only use it for video.
    I have filled it up, and I get the note: Your Startdisc is full, delete some archives to get space.
    I have moved a lot of files to extern HD on 3 TB and then deleted the same files at the iMac, and I have deleted the trash, but still I don´t get more space.
    All good advices is welcome.

    Tricky situation. Did you move your movie files to your XHD within iMovie or did you do it manually?
    Sorry if this is no help, I'm mystified as to why you're not getting more space after deleting files and emptying trash.

  • Other using all available space after update to iOS 8.3

    Before updating I had at least 10GB of free space, but ever since I updated to iOS 8.3, I am repeatedly receiving the Storage Almost Full error.  The last couple days I have deleted 2 or 3 GB of data and apps to free up space, but the error returns the next day and I have no space available even though I haven't added anything that would take up that much space.  Looking at apps under Manage Storage, there is nothing taking up the space that was previously unused.  When I plugged my phone into iTunes, is says that Other now takes up more than half the available storage on my phone, and I have the 64GB model. 
    Other had previously taken up quite a bit of space, and I know that this is mostly documents and data from my applications and messages, but there's no way it should have jumped so dramatically in size.  It seems to be just growing to take up whatever available space there is on my phone.

  • Time Machine Backs Up 30-39G every day ??? Using too much Space on the TC

    I installed the TC about 2 weeks ago. The first backup went as plan and took all night. But the problem (I think) is that incremental backups take place during the day but every day at the end of the day the TM does a 30 to 39G backup and is using up all the space on the TC. I am sure I am not adding 30 something G every day. Can someone tell me how to setup the TM to not use all the space. I got the TC 500G 2 weeks ago and is down to 219G of free space. I think that is not right.
    Please help
    Thanks

    That should do it. Time Machine will backup an active VM each hour if there are changes (i.e. VM is running). That amounts to 2GB+ per hour depending on the size of your VM.
    To recovery that space, you need to delete the file (and all versions) from the backup. Open Finder and go to your VM folder. Click on the Time Machine icon on the Dock. Click on that file and click the Gears button. You will be given the option of +Delete All Backups of -----+. All instances of this file will be delete from TM.
    To backup your VM, occasionally drag and drop the VM folder to a folder on your backup drive. TM will not touch this.
    For Fusion user, go to settings and set up a shared folder outside of the VM. Fusion will then access and save to this folder. Corruption of the VM will not affect these documents. As well, TM will back up this folder as long as you have not excluded it.
    Good luck!

  • [solved]xterm doesn't utilize all screen space in tiling wm's

    As can be seen in the screenshot, xterm leaves a bunch of pixels unused at the side and bottom. No other program does this. Do I have to use another *term that uses all the space, or can xterm/ratpoison be fixed in some way?
    This is with ratpoison, but if I recall correct it was the same in Musca.

    I used to think this way however now I much prefer to set xmonad to honour size hints.
    In a dynamic tiling wm, ignoring size hints causes issues when the terms are shuffled around and resized on the display as you open and close windows. You often end up with a partial line of text at the bottom of the terminal that is visible but not cleared with Ctr-L or clear. It looks ugly. I much prefer my terminals to have a gap around the edges rather than seeing this partial text on the bottom edge.

  • Running multiple SSIS packages using SQL Server Agent question.

    I have a multitude of SSIS packages I want to run using SQL Server Agent.  What would the best practice be for running these jobs using SQL Server Agent?  One job per package or running all pakages from one job?  If you have an answer can
    you explain the technical reasoning behind your answer?  Thanks in advance.
    Stan Benner

    Hi, maybe a bit more analysis will give a better answer
    Do all the packages have to run in sequence? (if yes, single job better)
    Can the list of packages to be executed be grouped by dependency (ex package 1,2 and 5 must run in sequence and can be executed by one job, while package 3,4 are not dependent on package 1,2 and 5 can be run by a separate job).
    Can any jobs be run in parallel?
    How often will the package execution sequence change?
    How will you deploy your packages and job? (the more jobs to create the more install script needed and upgrade scenarios become messy).
    My personal preference:
    I create ONE ssis package which is executed by ONE sql agent job. lets call this 'PackageExecutionWrapper.dtsx'
    PackageExectionWrapper then contains multiple 'Execute Package' tasks for the packages you want to execute.
    In the package you can apply any package execution rules - which packages have to run after the other, which packages can run concurrently, which packages should only run if previous succeeded.
    If you need to change the sequence, simple, just update the PackageExecutionWrapper package.

  • Can I create my own iDisk spaces using Lion Server?

    Using Lion Server, can I create a space that would be like iDisk for my users to save and access documents and files remotely? Also to make that shared between users? Basically make my own cloud space.

    SSL Certificate is based on your domain, not the granularity of folders.  If you have a server named idisk.yourdomain.com and all users will access the same domain, than you need a cert for idisk.yourdomain.com.  If you plan to do multiple hosts within the same domain, such as idisk.yourdomain.com and clouddrive.yourdomain.com then look to get a wildcard cert.  If you are doing multiple domains, such as idisk.yourdomain.com and clouddisk.otherdomain.com then you need multiple certs.  One per domain.
    As for access control, that is handled through folder structure and permissions.  Make two folders.  AllAccess and LimitedAcces.  You can make a group that contails users A, B, and C and make them part of a group.  That group can access the AllAccess folder.  Then make another group containing users A & B and then grant them access to the LimitedAccess folder.

  • POA Agent Uses Uses all memory in system then is killed.

    System OES2 SP3 latest patches
    Groupwise 2012 SP1
    4GB Ram
    The POA is uses all the memory growing to 65% before the system is out of memory.
    Ran GWCheck structure and content fix.
    Opened a SR with Novell.
    Found the SLAP error, did the procedures per Tid=7009119
    Start the POA everything seem okay, so added couple of user. After all the users got on the system the memory usage started to climb.
    Check the logs no errors.
    Could this be caused by on of the clients????
    Any Idea would help
    Thanks
    Jody

    How many users on this POA? The POA can consume a large amount of RAM, but not normally. Ours is sitting at about .5GB for about 500 heavy users. The GWIA and GWINTER typically grow very fat: 2 -4 GB.
    Since you have a SR open, work the problem with the engineer, if it looks like its languishing, you can always ask for an escalation.
    Does this server have swap configured? A caption from top might help us to know whats what, including the line for the POA in question.

  • How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

    First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn.  I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.
