Monitoring Splunk

How to determine what is filling the srtemp folder?

Lately our searchheads will run into issues where the srtemp folder baloons to 80+GB and fills the local hard drive.  To temporarily fix, I have to shut down splunk and then run the splunk command:

clean-srtemp

 It will then be good for several days to a week and eventually it's back again, rinse and repeat.  I'm curious what my options are for determining what is causing the srtemp folder to fill consistently?
