Monitoring the size of an Exchange Database

Hello,

Can APM monitor the database size of an Exchange 2003 installation? 2003 had a maximum DB size (I think 75 GB) and we'd like to keep an eye on ours from command central -- Orion.

From my research, it doesn't look like there is a WMI performance counter for database size. If there were, we could monitor it that way.

However, it seems that the db is represented in a couple files

You can monitor file size with APM 2.0 using a template from Thwack (). A File size monitor will be included as a base component monitor in 2.5.

Thanks. I haven't tested this but monitoring a files size would be perfect.
