Fusionpbx backup size

[Talmid_L]

Hello,

I have FusionPBX 5.1.0 RC1 installation and I was watching the backup .sql files in size. The first few days it was increasing steadily, which is normal. Now looking at the size some have 20 or 90MB, then one of 700MB. Is there any explanation what can cause such an increase in the sql?

Thanks

I see that the Device Logs and the Event Logs are huge. Device Logs I could drop, but what about the Event Logs?

If you are wanting the db backup .sql size to be smaller you can leave the event logs out.

You should probably keep Device Logs and Event Logs for less time. Consider maintenance work and not keeping those records in the database forever.

I did now.
Instead of the Device Logs I use the nginx log file, is it not the same?
What are the Event logs used for?

Device Logs shows exactly what was given to the Device for provisioning the end point. I built it to help troubleshoot provisioning problems.
