Controlling Disk Space

To reduce disk space, you can safely remove the content of the following directories:

• <INSTALLDIR>\<OS>\cv\data\tmp. You can remove it when the product is stopped.

• <INSTALLDIR>\<OS>\cv\data\run: contains log files. To free up space permanently in this directory, consider using log purge and rotation.

• <INSTALLDIR>\<OS>\cv\data\reporting_store: contains SQLite databases (queries, analysis/import/compact events, restarts)

• <INSTALLDIR>\<OS>\cv\data\**\*.tmp.*: temporary files. You can remove it when the product is stopped.

You can also delete old configuration versions stored in <INSTALLDIR>\<OS>\cv\data\gct with the API Console using the deleteVersionsBefore method.

You can maximize disk space either by compacting your index or by disabling the document cache.

View <INSTALLDIR>\<OS>\cv\data\build\<buildgroupname>\ and see which subfolder is taking up the space:

• If the index directory is taking a lot of space, it may be that it is not compacted. You can perform a full compact, but keep in mind you need twice the size of your index available on disk to perform this. Otherwise, perform your compact on a slice by slice basis.

• If the cache directory is taking a lot of space, you can deactivate the document cache option either at build group or at connector level.
