MySQl database keeps growing

[barta]

I use Cacti in a small setup, monitoring 17 devices, but strangely de database keeps growing rather fast.

I have thrown away already 13 gigs of database files (running 5 months), without any functional impairment.

What can be the cause of this behaviour ?

Is it Cacti-related or MySQL ?

What can I do about it, except for the manual clean-up ?

Any help is welcome ....

Information:

OS: Windows Server 2003

rdd tool 1.2.15

WAMP-package:
apache 2.2.11
mySQl 5.1.30

no plugins

I think you problem are the MySQL bin logs.

Please see this Thread for a solution:

Also note, that the my.cnf in you case might be a my.ini and it should be located somewhere in your mysql installation.
