Hi,
I am trying to find a way to decrease the disk activity on my NAS system, where I am running Orthanc too. I checked the IO logs and it seems that a lot of disk activity is generated by Orthanc and posgres:

It seems that Orthanc is constantly sending idle messages and all of these are logged, so the disks never stop, even if Orthanc isn’t actively importing or opening a patient.
Is there a way to decrease this disk activity or the logging frequency?
Thanks.
