## Symptoms

- * The size of */opt/CPshrd-R81.10/database/postgresql/data/base/* is bigger than 70 GB, and is inflating rapidly.
* The Postgres consumes 100% of the disk space constantly, and performance is impacted.
* The *CpmiRoboControl* table in the PostgreSQL database has more than 100,000 records.

## Cause

The LSM profiles, by default, update the policy for the SMB gateways and send HB synchronization traffic frequently.  
In large environments with more than 2000 SMBs, it significantly impacts the management server.

## Solution

This problem was fixed. The fix is included in:

* [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R81.10](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R81.10/Default.htm) starting from Take 75

If you choose not to upgrade, follow these steps:
1. Purge database revisions manually as much as possible.  

2. Increase LSM Heartbeat interval to 12/24 hours. See [sk166432 - *How to change LSM Heartbeat interval and fetch interval*](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk166432)  

3. Configure Automatic Revisions Purge. See [https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/index.html#cli/set-automatic-purge\~v1.7%20](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/index.html#cli/set-automatic-purge~v1.7%20)  

4. If steps 1-3 did not help,
