Alteryxdev Low Disk Space C:\ - PostgreSQL

Good Day

 

Hope you are well.

 

We are experiencing a space issue on the AlteryxDev server, as the C drive is running low on storage.

 

It appears that PostgreSQL is consuming most of the available space.

 

We’ve noticed that the C:\Postgres\data\base\16384 location is generating large files.

 

Could you please advise on how we can safely clear space within the PostgreSQL database to resolve this issue?

 

Thanks

Hi @Zandile ,

 

Alteryx's back-end is either MongoDB or SQL Server. Both are not related at all other than Alteryx's ability to connect to PostgreSQL.

 

If you have a PostgreSQL database standalone installed there or connected to any other solution, I would advise to move it to another server. That might be impacting the Alteryx workflow runtime and overall performance.

 

Best,
