ESETRADB database over 1.4GB

Our installation base for ESET is around 250 clients.

The ESETRADB.mdf file is about 1.4GB and growing.

Is that typical? It seems incredibly large for such a small ESET deployment.

I'm curious about how large other ESET databases are.

Thanks,

Mine is 30MB for 634 clients. These are my retention settings:



e: I also set it so only the last 25 client events are logged in the advanced settings, since I really don't care when a client updates or sends statistical info. That's probably the culprit.

 

That's basically my server settings as well. I took a look at the tables in ESETRADB and found FirewallLog alone had over 980MB alone reserved.

Going to cut back my logs to 7 days and run cleanup against the DB.

 

Check my edit. It's likely the client events that are doing it.

For reference, I have about 19k entries logged in the event log section.

 

If it's firewall logs that keep growing, I'd strongly recommend remedying the cause of the problem on the problematic client(s) so that the clients don't produce too many errors in the log.
