C drive was growing very fast and then saw that the msdb data file and log file was huge.
I shrank the msdb log file first.
I ran the following query to see the top higly populated table
SELECT object_name(i.object_id) as objectName,
i.[name] as indexName,
sum(a.total_pages) as totalPages,
sum(a.used_pages) as usedPages,
sum(a.data_pages) as dataPages,
(sum(a.total_pages) * 8) / 1024 as totalSpaceMB,
(sum(a.used_pages) * 8) / 1024 as usedSpaceMB,
(sum(a.data_pages) * 8) / 1024 as dataSpaceMB
FROM sys.indexes i
INNER JOIN sys.partitions p
ON i.object_id = p.object_id
AND i.index_id = p.index_id
INNER JOIN sys.allocation_units a
ON p.partition_id = a.container_id
GROUP BY i.object_id, i.index_id, i.[name]
ORDER BY sum(a.total_pages) DESC, object_name(i.object_id)
GO
Once running the query on MSDB , I found the follwing large tables
I ran the follwing to clear the history
use msdb
GO
exec sp_maintplan_delete_log @oldest_time = '05/12/2017'
This expands the log file so make sure you shrink file
DBCC SHRINKFILE(MSDBLog, 50) --50MB
GO
Then the following maintenance plan was scheduled to run every week.
This blog is created to add all the information and experiences that I have learnt while working on MS sql server as a DBA. The blog is also updated frequently with the real world problem that I encounter hands on at work and the resolutions to resolve them. I hope this blog will be of some use to you and you will revisit. Thank you for stopping by and you are welcome to leave comments.
