Hi all, We are facing an issue where the DB is getting filled up drastically and is causing the IIQ environment to go down. When we check the DB tables, we only see 67% used. Whereas the DB file itself is using 100% of the disk space. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance

Hi @rishavghoshacc doing daily counts of the number of rows in the major tables and charting them over time can give useful insight into database space trends. If you post the row counts I’ll see if there are any that look excessive.
