===== Database issues =====

==== Too big database ====

  * In some cases, the DB can grow too big because data retention is not configured properly or not working.
  * The impacts could be:
    * Server disk full
    * Slow UI response
    * Monitoring stopping

=== How to fix ===

  * You can recover from this situation if you have some backup snapshots, usually located in the ''snapshots'' folder
  * Stop Redpeaks service, and wait that its process is terminated
  * Move, rename or delete the ''uiweb'' folder, containing the DB files.
  * Restart Redpeaks server: **A new empty database will be created**
  * Log in using the admin user credentials configured during the installation.
  * Go in the snapshots menu and apply the latest snapshot
  * The server will have recovered its configuration.
  * Have a look in the ''Admin->System'' section and check data retention settings.
  * **It is advised not to keep monitor jobs results more than a couple of days.**
