    Tip

    SQL Diagnostic Manager 7.2 and later includes a repository autogrow setting at 32 MB, which is sufficient for trial and small environments in production. Environments with larger, multi-server installations should change the repository autogrow setting to 250 MB or higher to prevent frequent data file autogrow, which can cause performance problems. Using percentage-based autogrow is not recommended.
