Metric Intelligence table sa_metric_type is growing by thousands of records daily

[Paul Bloem]

We're using ACC Monitoring and Metric Intelligence, and for some time now we've been having issues with our ACC Agents showing down when they're actually running fine. One thing I noticed in the ACC MID Server logs and in the ECC queue is a massive number of references to the sa_metric_type table. When I took a look at that table, I noticed that it is growing every day by several thousand records, and most of them have the same name with a bunch of numbers at the end:

I'm hoping someone else that is using ACC + Metric Intelligence can confirm if this is the behavior in their instance as well. 

Best,
Paul

Hello Paul

If you are using a specific source, such as solarwinds, scom, or newrelic, you can disable the automatically generated metric types by making them inactive.

For this open table "SA Metric Type Registration (sa_metric_registration)," find the source you want to stop the automatically generated metric, open the source record, and select "Type default mode - Inactive."

This will not generate any automatic metric types in the "sa_metric_type" table.

Please mark my answer if it was helpful.

Thank you.
