I want to get an alert when an exchange database reaches a certain size. I'm running NPM, is there a way to do that with NPM or do I have to have SAM? Would SAM do that?
NPM can do this if you are referring to the Exchange Datastores or ExchangeLog volumes. Just monitor them and then you can use Basic Alert Manager to alert on the size you would like, and which Datastore. You can setup different alerts for each datastore depending on your needs.
I've seen alerts for freespace on a volume. How do I setup an alert for an exchange datastore size?
SAM will do that.
once you get SAM installed you can set a file size monitor to track the size and also alert if you want to.
the freespace alert would only be usable if you had a known size disk and then only put the database in that disk.
then you can work some creative math for setting the alert based on freespace for the database size
Has anyone else found a workaround for this?
