I've had some success in the past using this method. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/scottos/archive/2007/07/12/rough-and-tough-guide-to-identifying-patterns-in-ese-transaction-log-files.aspx There may be better tools out there now, but it's certainly pinpointed potential culprits about 50% of the time.
Nick From: Vandael Tim [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 28 February 2011 08:53 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Enormous amount of log files Hello all, I've ran into a database problem this morning. As you can see in the image there are a huge amount of log files generated this weekend. Since the volume is only 30GB it ran full with the associated problem of the database being dismounted. Is there any way to detect what/who generated all this traffic? To solve the issue, I've moved some log files so the database was mountable again. Now I'm running a backup and turned circular logging on to free up some logs.
