Measures reported by MsSqlTabSizeTest

When faced with a disk space crunch on their critical SQL servers, administrators may want to know which databases are hogging the disk space, and which tables on each database have grown beyond permissible limits. The MsSqlTabSizeTest test provides administrators with this information.

This test auto-discovers the databases with tables that exceed a configured size limit, and reports the count of such ‘large sized tables’ for each database. You can use the detailed diagnosis of the test to know which tables in a database are of a large size.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Table_count Indicates the number of tables in this database that are currently of a size greater than the value (in GB) configured against TABLE SIZE GB. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which tables in a database are consuming the maximum disk space.
