Hi Guys,
We are having an issue with MSSQL logs (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\) eating disk space after making a backup restore of the server. Logs were eating up to 10 Gb of space in just a day.
server crestes SQLDumpxxxx.log,SQLDumpxxxx.mdmp and SQLDumpxxxx.txt> Tried deleting it but it keeps generating logs.

Also, just recently we have noticed that disabling the SBS$MONITORING stop it from generating logs. Any idea how is it related, or what could be the issue.
Any advise is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Something's throwing high severity errors and SQL is writing out stack dumps to log information which may help identify and fix the problem (severity 22 are severe errors which need to be addressed as a matter of urgency). Either investigate the cause of the errors yourself or open a case with Microsoft support and get their help. The main concern here is not the large log directory, it's those severity 22 errors (the highest possible severity is 25)
