  • 1.  Hidden usage of mysql ibdata

    Posted Jan 10, 2018 12:38 PM

    Hi All,

     

    I am using mysql provided by CA API Gateway.  I have started observing from recent days size of ibdata file is getting bigger and is currently on 15GB (close to total allocated space).  However I found total tables size are less than 2GB across all schemas.  I am not very sure where 13GB space is used.  Can some one throw some light on this and also on how to clear this space without loosing any policies.

     

    Is there a way to redirect all audit logging to different schema rather than ssg.

     

    Regards

    Chaitanya
