vMA causes rapid database growth

Hey all.  Have a question and I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this.

 

I deployed vMA 4.1 a while back and I believe I followed the deployment guide correctly.  However, I had a problem where my vCenter came to a crashing halt.  I found that the SQL database had grown and filled the partition.  My db is usually around 240 MB and in a few weeks it grew to over 15 GB.  Through some digging I found that the vpx_event and vpx_event_arg tables grew tremendously due to an enormous amount of login and logout events.  After further digging I discovered that it was vMA logging in and out every couple of seconds.  I double checked to make sure all my credetials were correct but I could not find the reason behind the logins and logouts.  I cleaned up my db, removed my servers and shutdown vMA, and my database has remained at 240MB.

 

Now, I really want to get vMA back up and running but I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem or might have any suggestions as to why this happened.

Also, I wanted to add that I see a large amount of idle sessions when I look at the "Session" tab in the vCenter client.  I have seen upwards of 150 at one time.  I can only assume it is related.
