Reducing the WhatsUp database size

The first step to troubleshooting a large WhatsUp database is to identify which table or tables are consuming the bulk of the used database step. To do this, open the WhatsUp Database tables by size home dashboard report (accessible from the WhatsUp Gold Home tab, click Add Content > General > Database Table Usage) and note the tables that are consuming the most space. A list of common large database tables is listed below. Click on a table name for more information on how to reduce that table.
