Toplist stopped working, toplist buffer at 500

Toplist stopped working, under PRTG Status it says : Toplist buffer 500 (1117 dropped) How can I clear the Toplist buffer ? Because I've reduced all the netflow Toplists, pauzed all the netflow sensors, cleared cache, restarted all probes, but no change, it stays at 500.

We restarted the PRTG service which solved the problem (for now).

Have you tried to reduce the period for these toplists in the sensor's settings? When these periods are shorter, they store less data and this may help since it sounds like there is too much data.

You can also adjust the amount of data stored for toplists by changing the value for the data purging under the system and website setting under setup.
