123MB to 839MB in 11 days.

I have small sites with low traffic.

How can I figure out what's causing this massive growth?

Truncating logs doesn't help much at all.

Clear event log or disable event log or filter it for perticular events

there are several items, which may cause database growth:
- in database properties, set recovery mode to simple, this will keep the transaction log small.
- disable DNN sitelog (set duration to 0), if you don't use Admin > Sitelog, otherwise make sure, the cleanup job is enabled in Host > Scheduler
- make sure your event log doesn't grow beyond a few hundred entries (SELECT COUNT(1) N FROM {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}Eventlog])
- make sure, the scheduler log doesn't contain more than a few hundred entries (SELECT COUNT(1) N FROM {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}ScheduleHistory])

-I did set recovery to simple a few weeks ago.

-sitelog is disabled

-ran truncate event/site/schedulehistory so there's nothing in there..

 

Now the db is OVER 1GB! Shrink it only reduces a few MBs.. something is wrong here.. please give me some more tips.. there's gotta be a way to find out what's causing this crazy growth!

Found the issue!

In SSMS right click your db, reports> standard reports> disk usage by top tables; to find out what's taking up the space
The yaf event log table was 933MB, it had 360k records.

Host> SQL
truncate table {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}yaf_EventLog

My db is 93MB now! :)
