Jace 8000 Platform running low on disk space

I just saw this jace is running low and I'm astonished because I've got a couple other ones loaded like pack mules that are not even close. Is this like having too many big files on a computer or is this some kind of RAM storage issue? Everything I look at like px files, controller points, histories etc are not big. There are only about a dozen controllers. I tried to find Spy manager but couldn't find it. Are there some diagnostic tools in the jace?

The section you highlighted is the actual onboard storage (the SD card) and fills up with station data, components, blocks, extensions, whatever else is contained in your file storage or the config.bog. Histories and Alarms are also contained on there.

Check your station Resource Manager view to see what the jace sees for a resource usage breakdown. Start looking at the histories that may have "Unlimited" capacity settings.

Bad news; it got down to 0 today. Good news; I deleted some files and got it up to about 900KB. Bad news; lots to add onto this jace coming up. Histories are set at 500. No alarms. Can't figure it out. I used the File Transfer and looked at some files but they are all like just 10 or 20kb.

Maybe delete all of your history records off the JACE and see if that improves your amount of storage. It’s possible your audit log history is not set to a limit and is filling up your Jace. I’ve seen those get to over a GB in a server before.

You may need to reboot after deleting to see the change.

The CPU usage and RAM seem ok. Is the Filesystem like a computer hard drive with files? How can I search for what's hogging this? Do I have to use the File Transfer and just go through everything? What do you mean delete all histories? How could I get them back?

What are the back up service settings? Is it excluding history and alarm dbs? Use station copy and make sure that copy alarm and histories are turned on for station copies and then review the size of the backup. In the spy, there should be information on the files.

I used the Remote File System to browse under User Home and the only thing I can find it under history/seq4/ there is a LogHistory.hdb file that is 3.2GB. Could this be the problem? How do I fix it and why did it get so big? I don't want it to happen again. Looks like all my histories are set to 500. There is a /zip folder but nothing in it.

Yes that is almost definitely your problem.

Station/Config/Services/LogHistory/HistoryConfig

Check that, it is probably set to Unlimited.

Warning, if you change it to a lower number it will delete all the additional entries. Be sure your client is not going to throw a fit if they lose that data before proceeding.

You can go to Station/History/[stationname]/LogHistory to see just how many entries that history has. It might crash though cause that is a ton.

It was set to unlimited but so is every other jace I've installed, I guess. I never heard of it. I changed it to 500 but couldn't make a backup or reboot since there is 0 space. I went to the history manager and deleted records and it freed things up. Thanks a bunch!
