Troubleshoot Messaging Tables Disk Usage Warnings

Applies to: Tableau Advanced Management

In rare situations you may see a disk space usage warning at the command line after running the rmtadmin status command:

Internal RMT messaging tables total disk usage is now: <nn.nn> KB.

A message displays when disk space reaches or exceeds the warning threshold of 4 GB.

The database usually cleans up unnecessary tables automatically, but if this warning displays, take the following steps to clean up the tables manually:

  1. Stop RMT Server:

    rmtadmin stop

  2. Start the database service:

    rmtadmin start --db

  3. Clean up the unnecessary tables:

    rmtadmin query "DROP SCHEMA hangfire CASCADE;" --outfile=drop_hangfire_schema_output.zip --commit

  4. Start RMT Server:

    rmtadmin start

 

Who can do this

You need to be a Resource Monitoring Tool Administrator in order to run the necessary commands.
