Hi everyone, can I get a peer review of my logic on this one
I've been asked to try and explain a recent surge in Index location disk usage, and I just wanted to have another set of eyes review my logic
Disk utilisation stats over 6months see the disk util hovering around the 92% mark. Then a sharp upward spike from the 1st of Jan of 1% before levelling out for a few days and then another spike of 2 to 3%. The last spike coincides with everyone coming back to work after christmas
My suggestion for resolution is to move some of the larger indexes to another disk - easy
The aspect I'm struggling with is to explain why the index sizes/disk util suddenly spiked. There is nothing in the event log to indicate a problem. No indication there was a backlog of items that were waiting to be indexed that had suddenly processed
Overall, I think I'm either looking for an event in EV that will demonstarte items backedup somewhere that suddenly started to process, or an increase in emails received/archived to account for this behaviour. Am I missing anything as a potential cause? Can Index items loop perhaps?
Ideas welcome. Many thanks
