Estimate Amount of Drive Space Required to Maintain Audit Log
Records
Before you begin to modify PBAudit log settings, you will need to determine the total number of
current ClassAssignmentMark and StudentReportMark records for all districts at your site. Use
this record count and the number of remaining grading periods to estimate the amount of drive
space needed to maintain a large number of records in the PBAudit log that may accumulate
through the end of the school year.
1. Open SQL Server Management Studio, and run the FindMarkTotals.sql script, which
is located in the Event Log subdirectory.
The script returns one record that represents the total number of current
ClassAssignmentMark and StudentReportMark records for all districts at your site.
2. With this number of current records, use the following guideline to calculate how much
drive space is needed to maintain PBAudit log:
3.5 million mark records = 1,000,000 KB of drive space
