Hello,  
I am using Grafana 5.2.1.-1 version. I have 33 dashboards in provisioning/dashboard folder and every of them has different uid.  
What can cause this large increase of the database?

Check the logs (try to increase log level), check the db table sizes. It is very likely dashboard provisioning. Grafana reprovisions dasboards for some reason (e.g.duplicated dashboard uid,…).
