HDD usage report & utilization

after normal boot and setup of TimeMachine which went fine, my computer started to become sluggish. It's reading the HDD constantly slowing down everything.
I've quit all apps, rebooted, it keeps doing so.
I can look at the process, And I can see some busy, but CPU usage is just normal and prety low. I have no idea what's causing that, but it has been so for hours now.
My MacBook Pro has just become unusable. I can't see what to do to even guess what's at work here.
Moreover, I had report of full HDD where I knew I had at 20Gb free. Where there a lot of writing at some point? probably but not to the point to fill up the HDD.
I freed up 10 more gigs, and now Finder reports usage of 96Gb (which is way too much: it used to be 70Gb before this thing start). When I count what's on the drive, it just adds up to what I had before, i-e 70Gb.
any help just welcome. I'm totally at loss with what's going on here!

I have this in the system.log:
it doesn't seem to be related but since it logs the messages every 10s, it's probably a problem:
Nov 5 18:50:09 asura org.freedesktop.avahi-dnsconfd[4109]: connect(): No such file or directory
Nov 5 18:50:09 asura org.freedesktop.avahi-dnsconfd[4109]: Failed to connect to the daemon. This probably means that you

thanks for any help

  • Roaming Fraud in Telecoms and High-Usage Reporting standards

    Hi,
    I am sure that there are people out there performing software development on telecoms systems to process high usage reports in order to reduce roaming fraud.  I am hoping that someone can point me at a forum they may use so that I may join them to exchange
    information.
    Can anyone help please?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Kai,
    Thanks for the question (and input). As you probably know, we have several partners that provide WLP-ready monitoring solutions providing insight into the utilization, availability, and performance of portal components, including Acsera, Quest, Intersperse, and Wily. In general, these tools are sophisticated and powerful, providing features such as SLA management, alerting, and drill down capability to meet the needs of operational, support, and development personnel tasked with detecting, isolating, and diagnosing performance and availability related issues.
    In addition, we recognize the need to provide business users with straightforward statistics on utilization and performance. While we do not plan on providing such capabilities out of the box for the 9.2 release, we are actively investigating the possibility of leveraging the Analytics component of ALUI to provide such reporting capabilities for Weblogic Portal in the future.

    Hi Nabhendu,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not use popularity trend after you migrated SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013.
    In SharePoint 2013, the analytics functionality is a part of the search component. There is an article for troubleshooting SharePoint 2013 Web Analytics, please take a look at:
    Troubleshooting SharePoint 2013 Web Analytics

  • Usage Report not showing data

    Hello,
    When I am opening usage reports under Site Settings > Site Administraton > Popularity Trends, i cannot see any data after 9th May 2014. It stopped working and all the numbers coming to zero after 9th may. 
    I tried many solutions that are given on internet for this issue like restarting timer job, enabling usage on usage service application, permission on log files, etc.. but none of them worked for me.
    Please help me out. Is usage report depend on any service? search is working fine, usage service application is working fine.
    Thanks.

    For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
    Make sure the Web Analytics Data Processing Service and Web Analytics Web Service are started on each server.
    Make sure web analytics service application is started
    Deactivate and Activate the site collection Features on Reporting.

  • Usage Report Results Confusion

    Hi Everyone,
    Here is some background before I ask my question:
    I set up a hierarchy and populated it VM entities no problem.  I set up my own basic pricing model that was based on "Actual Usage" and had no base rates, no fixed costs, no other costs, and no rules associated with it.  I ran a couple usage reports using this pricing model.
    The first usage report I generated on my hierarchy was for the time frame 11/06/2012  to  11/06/2013   (1 year) and the report produced results which I looked okay.  I only asked for it to show CPU, Memory, and Storage.
    So I my second usage report on the same hierarchy and for this one the time frame was set for 05/06/2013  to  11/06/2013  (6 months) and the the results produced almost exactly DOUBLE the usage for EVERY resource.
    I thought this was strange considering the time frames overlap and if anything the YEAR time span would have to have at least the same usage stats if not higher than the 6 month time span it includes.
    So, my question is, did I mess up the pricing model or billing policy somewhere to have this happen?  Or does the usage report generate on an average of some sort?
    I just can't figure out how this is possible.
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    Hi Richie,
    Can you please attach the pdf reports for the same issue and tell about the problematic VMs. I will try to give you an explanation for the same.

  • Usage Report and Audit Log report showing different totals

    I am trying to understand the differences displayed in two similar reports. The first report is an 'Audit Log' Report and it is displaying the number of Resource Account creations over a time period. The second report is a Usage Report using the exact same criteria (objectType = Resource Account and Action = Create). The totals I get back are VASTLY different. Can anyone explain? Is this a known bug?

    Hi,
    In any report we don't show the storage policies information. In Cost report if the storage policies have different rate factors then we will show the split for the storage information. But in usage report , rate factors will not be applicable as we don''t show the cost details. Hope this clarifies your question. Please let us know if you need more information.
    Thanks,
    Lakshmi

  • Usage report and storage profiles

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to create a usage report i CBM that shows the storage consumption devided in storage policies. I have 2 different storage policies and they are both visible when editing infrastucture cost.
    When generation a cost report I can see the storage policies, but not when I'm generating the Usage Report - wich is the one I really need. I only get the storage usage - and cant differ between the storage policies.
    Any ideas?
    I'm running CBM 2.6.
    Thanks!

  • Usage report gone?

    Hi team,
    I can't find the "monitoring usage" report, that previously was easily accessible from at least a couple of pages, including the main application builder page, if I am not wrong.
    Is it gone for good?
    Bye,
    Flavio

    Flavio,
    It's still there.
    From the main HTML DB Page, under Workspace Administration, click on "Manage Workspace". Next, click on the "Monitor Activity" icon. You'll see a set of user activity reports.
    Thanks,

  • Usage Report Shows Zero (0) Hits

    All:
    When I view the Excel Usage report for my site collection as described here
    here, it shows zero hits.  Same for my top-level site page.  I've gone into Central Admin and confirmed the Usage and Health Data Collection service is running
    as described
    here and that it is properly configured.  Via PowerShell, I've also confirmed the EnableReceivers property is set to true as described
    here .
    Still no luck.  Nothing but 0 hits reported.   Any other suggestions on how I can get this working?
    Thanks,

    User analytics take 24 to generate data so check after 24 hours.
    Also hope you have followed
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/32858/web-analytic-show-0-visitor-since-last-2-weeks
    id you configure Usage Collection from the SharePoint Central Admin.
    Central Administration > Monitoring > Configure usage and health data collection
    Please ensure Enable usage data collection (is checked)
    Events to log:
    Content Import Usage
    Content Export Usage
    Page Requests (This option must be checked)
    Feature Use
    Search Query Usage
    Site Inventory Usage
    Timer Jobs
    Rating Usage
    After you enable Web Analytics , SharePoint automatically does not start making analytical data unless we specify data that needs to be captured and saved on the analytics service application database.
    SharePoint will created a service application database typically named as "WSS_Logging" after you provision Usage Collection Service.
    If this service is already present , then I would suggest to reconfigure usage and logging service once again. It should work.

  • Usage Report for SSM 7.0

    Usage Report for SSM 7.0
    We need to track the usage of SSM by our users and report the number of logins.
    I believe there is a trace file that is produced somewhere in SSM.
    Can anyone suggest the best method to produce a 'Usage Report' based on a trace file or something simliar?
    Regards
    David

    Rohini,
    The direct answer for this question is to look into some web analytic tools. Basically, you tag each page with hyperlink markup language that the web analytic tools tracks.
    A typical web analytic tool can show you which pages were visited (and which weren't), who came in to look and how long they stayed - usually for tracking outside users you are just getting IP addresses, but with tracking internal folks you will be able to set it up to track them. Also they include things like typical user paths - where did they land and then where did they go.
    This is something you would work with using the analytic tool you selected. Web analytics is a whole discipline onto itself and so you shouldn't have any problems finding consultants to set up whatever software you want to use. My experience, from long ago, was that these are tools have many out of the box features that make it easy to set up.
    Most web analytic tools are set up for customers/consumers/visitors and used by marketing or web designers. When you look at employees as your customers/visitors, there isn't a whole lot of difference in setting up a tool to track that kind of usage.
    As I said before, I don't have any recommendation to provide about which tool would exactly meet your need, many come with a variety of options, plans, and pricing.
    Good luck,
    Bob
