Measures reported by SqlAzuTobTblTest

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

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

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each database instance on the target Microsoft SQL Azure database server being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Maximum_table_size Indicates the maximum size of the table among the tables that are exceeding the configured table size. GB Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to figure out the tables that are consuming the maximum disk space.
Table_count Indicates the number of tables that are currently of a size greater than the value configured against the Table Size. Number
