Good Day
I have been experiencing several problems with my Orion Install. It has been running for about 2 years now with a lot of customization etc.
1st is that it seems like my Database is very fragmented, I have configured the auto re-indexing etc as per the Solarwinds Knowledge base but I receive errors every morning.

Second issue is, every 3 or 4 days I receive a warning that SAM Maintenance is overdue. I then have to manually run the Database Maintenance on the Orion server to get rid of the message.
So it got me thinking the other day, our DB Administrators runs a DB Shrink every day, could it be possible the due to the DB Shrink Database Maintenance is failing for SAM and also re-indexing issues?
