OS X Server 5 disk is running full in a few hours

Since I upgraded my Mac Mini to El Capitain and Server 5 I have the problem that the disk (1 TB) is running full after a short while. I find large files in the Library/Server/ServerDocs/Date directory ending .eyetv. These files are about 25GB and they get more and more until the disk (1TB) is full. That takes a few hours.

I don't habe anything else installed on the server than OS X and the Server 5, Devonthink Pro Office and Printopia. I stopped Devonthink. After that didn't help I did a fresh install deleting the previous hard drive. The problem is still continuing. I don't have Elgato's EyeTV installed on the server. This program is running on another mac in my network. However I stopped it. But I think that has nothing to do with these files. The files have old creating and modifying dates which are not matching todays date.

I browsed the log files but I couldn't find a hint what process is generating these files. Before I was running OS X 10.10 and Server 4.x. without any problems.

The only strange thing I can discover are thousands of these log entries create by one of my Mac's in the network:

Any Idea?

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11), OS X Server 5

I've just been dealing with this issue. The ServerDocs / Data folder on my system drive is now taking up 985 GB of my 1TB drive. I've deselected the "iOS" access on the 3 external media drives that I'm sharing over the network, and it looks like it's stopped creating new files in that folder.

My question is, how do I safely clean up that folder? I'm assuming the PNG files will be harmless enough to trash, but there are about 200 files that are showing up as unix executable or textedit.app documents. 3/4 of those files are between 3gb and 20gb. The external drives are full of video files, so I'm assuming that those are some sort of unrecognizeable proxy files or something. Anyway... am I risking screwing things up clearing out this folder?

I deleted everything in that folder without problems. So simply go ahead.
