The memory and hard disk usage meters in the Aurorean Policy Server statistics area show how much server resources are being consumed to manage the Aurorean Virtual Network. High memory usage normally reflects a large number of authorization messages for both remote user authentication and server-to-server traffic; generating reports and Aurorean Client Software installation kits can also consume Aurorean Policy Server memory. High disk space usage is normally a result of many large log and report files accumulating on the hard disk.

NOTE

When 85% of the Aurorean Policy Server drive capacity is full, the server automatically begins deleting logs and reports older than 90 days. Log and report deletions are not configurable at this time.
