Sandbox creates massive amounts of data #40

I left sandbox running up for 24 hours (forgot to shut it down) on Windows 10 machine. It generated ~40 GB of TSM files, each 1.9MB in size.

Is this expected behaviour?

Yes...the sandbox is essentially monitoring your machine.

So, it is gathering those stats during the 24 hour period. If you stop the Telegraf container (run docker ps to see the containers that are running. If you issue docker stop <telegraf container name or ID> should do it!) , InfluxDB, Chronograf and Kapacitor will run -- without gathering the stats from your local machine. This should eliminate the collection and reduce the footprint.
