ProActive DBA 9.0: Focus on SQL Server:
Database File Space Monitoring

Posted: 2014-08-04

How Can I get Version 9.1?

ProActive DBA 9.0 introduces a new set of metrics for monitoring SQL Server file space usage.  These metrics are part of TimeLine, and appear under the DB Stats tab (for SQL Server 2005 and later server versions):

The new columns include the current size and amount of space used for each file, plus the auto-grow increment, file size limit and amount of available space at the O/S level which the file can use for auto-grow.

When used with the TimeLine Alerting Option, these new capabilities let you receive alerts and perform actions when filegroup space reaches a defined threshold.
