Hi Everyone,
My apologies if this is a overly redundant question, but I haven't been able to find much about this, so here it goes, maybe someone around here with a bit more experience might be able to lend a hand.
I run several (20+) servers that run either SQL 2005 or 2008, and each one of these contains anywhere from 1 to 8 databases each. My goal is to monitor the database size itself, as I have autogrowth disabled, I am constantly having to grow databases manually, and I'd like solarwinds to alert me on percentage of database size utilization.
Does anyone know how I could accomplish this? I've tried several templates from within the APM presets, as well as some downloaded from the colaboration pool @ thwack and I still can't get what I need.
Anyone with ideas or suggestions??
Note: The boxes are monitored in NPM for uptime, and other component utilization, as well as some WMI service status flags and what not on APM, so I am pretty familiar with SW itself, its monitoring SQL where my weakness lies.
