Seeing quite a discrepancy between the database size reported under the Metrics tab and the database size reported by psql, so I wonder if I’m missing something.
The render dashboard says 905MB, and actually this has been steadily increasing:
The steadily increasing storage likely comes from database logs. We hold on to logs for seven days so we can debug issues that may arise with your database. This storage amount does fluctuate based on your usage patterns, but it should level off over time.
@Danielle thanks for that - is there any way for me to inspect or see what’s filling up those logs? The database doesn’t do much activity at all, so I’m surprised it’s so full!
Apologies if this is just me misunderstanding something about how Postgres works
We just recently provided support for database logs to appear in the dashboard but would have to enable it for you, which can incur a small amount of downtime. Let us know if that is something you would like us to do for you.
