Symptom
As part of an upgrade or change to new hardware you've built a new server and installed Kaseya then copied the files from the old server to the new one and Restored the database. Post the change you're database is growing fast.
Further investigation
After further investigation you've noticed that the even't logs collected per day has drastically increased.This can be found by comparing the size of the event log tables per day "ntEventLog20150109,ntEventLog20150110..."
-Note This is not to be confused with the server retaining the event logs longer than it should.
Problem
By default Kaseya no longer excludes some events from being brought back to the server. This means if you perform a fresh install and don't copy over your existing exceptions the server will now start collecting more event log information then it previous was, resulting in a great SQL db size.
Resolution
Copy the exceptions from your previous build. They can be found here.
C:\Kaseya\WebPages\ManagedFiles\VSAHiddenFiles\ evLogBlkList.xml
C:\Kaseya\WebPages\ManagedFiles\VSAHiddenFiles\ evLogBlkListEx.xml
If you don't have access to your previous server this if the 6.3 default exceptions for evLogBlkList.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
