MSDB log file writes very high in Simple recovery mode

  • We have 6 or 7 databases set up for logshipping. The MSDB write % is very high compared to all databases, even our main database. Can anyone explain why it would be so great when the database is in Simple Recovery mode? I'm assuming logshipping is the culprit since MSDB is 2GB and the log_shipping_monitor_history_detail table is > 1.5GB.
