If i set the cache size on my relay to 15Gb using _BESGather_Download_CacheLimitMB why is it being exceeded? This folder is currently greater than 20Gb and growing C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Relay\wwwrootbes\bfmirror\
Thank you!
The setting in question specifically controls the download cache, which is a portion of the folder path you specify above (on Windows typically the download cache is in …\BES Relay\wwwrootbes\bfmirror\downloads\sha1). Here’s a technote around the download cache for reference: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21505905.
The …\BES Relay\wwwroot\bfmirror folder will also contain a ‘site cache’, whose size will depend on a variety of environmental factors, including the number of subscribed sites, number of operators, along with the amount and type of custom content and actions being deployed in the environment.
You can also try to increase the value of cache-max-memory-size in your configuration file, at least as a temporary solution. The default value is 500 MB (524288000).
