Verifying resource usage

It is important to monitor how much resources are necessary to run the M-Files system. If the resource consumption goes over a specified limit, it is time to upgrade your system. For hardware and system operation requirements, see System requirements and technical details.

Monitor at least these resource components:
  • Vault metadata and file data size
    Note: You can check the location of the metadata file and the file data folder in the Document Vault Properties dialog in M-Files Admin. For instructions, see Checking the size of a Firebird metadata file.
  • Memory
  • Disk space and health
  • Backup size and duration (must not overlap with optimization)
