[19:40:18] <jaraco> I’ve had to move the pmxbot log hosting to another service. This time, I’m using a self-hosted server on Azure.

[19:41:16] <jaraco> Turns out that although mlab gives 500MB free, and although our data is less than 400MB logically, it consumes more than 1GB of disk in MongoDB (probably due to the full-text indexing of the logs), so we were over quota on their free service.

[19:42:01] <jaraco> I tried simply using my Rackspace server (or the one hosting the pmxbot process itself), but both of those only have 512MB of RAM which isn’t enough to host the MongoDB database with the rest of things running on the machine.

[19:48:32] <jaraco> Since I’m a core developer, I’m granted a MSDN subscription which gives me access to some Azure credit, so I’m using that to power the database.
