Hi!
I am currently SQL admin since our ordinary SQL folks are at summer vacation.
Yesterday SCOM alerted that File Group is running out of space on one not so critical database "The file group "PRIMARY" for the database "loganalys" in SQL instance "MSSQLSERVER" on computer "sqlserver2" is running out of space".
I logged in to the SQL server and checked the database in question. It is a very large DB with a size of 577 GB.
The storage on which the database files resides has 123 GB free space so that isn't the issue.
The database is set to autogrowth 1 MB at a time (unrestricted) so that doesn't seem to be the issue either.
However, in the database properties under General, it says Space avaliable: 570 MB.
I guess that this may be the issue, that this is under some treshold for SCOM to alert on.
I have looked at the other databases and they have everything between 0,25MB to 270MB space avaliable (they are all set to autogrowth 1 MB, unrestricted).
I am not sure what this means and if I have to do something about it, any ideas?
Best Regards,
Jan
