Database size

This monitor is dedicated to the monitoring of SAP database size.

Configuration hints

This monitor will watch for data and log used space as well as current log mode.
For Oracle and DB2 databases, it will also monitor the tablespaces used space.
A first surveillance table will be dedicated to the configuration of global database used space monitoring.
A second one will be for the tablespaces Use the surveillances table to adjust the monitoring settings: Thresholds, severity, filters, etc… Unused thresholds have to be set to 0.

Parameter	Description
Active	Use this field to activate or deactivate a line of configuration.
Max TOTAL used space (%) - DB2 ONLY	The threshold for the used space of the total maximum available. Only available for DB2, it will have no effect on other DB.
Max DATA used space (%)	The threshold for the used space of the total available space for DATA.
Max LOG used space (%)	The threshold for the used space of the total available space for LOG
Expected LOG mode	Define the LOG mode that is expected.
Severity	The level of severity of the alarm generated by this line of surveillance.
Auto clear	If checked, the alarm will be cleared as soon as the alarm condition is not met anymore.
Alarm tag	This field allows to add custom text within the alarm message. %MSG% variable will contain the actual generated message and can be used such as: “my_prefix %MSG% my_suffix”. By default, tag will be used as prefix.
Alarm	If checked, this line of surveillance will be used for alarm generation.
Metric	If checked, this line of surveillance will be used for metric generation.
Report	If checked, this line of surveillance will used for showing threshold and severity in the daily report

Active	Max TOTAL used space (%) - DB2 ONLY	Max DATA used space (%)	Max LOG used space (%)	Expected LOG mode	Max used space delta (Mb/%)	Delta time	Severity	Auto clear	Alarm tag	Alarm
true	0	80	80	FULL	MAJOR	true		true	false	false

Effect : Sends a MAJOR alarm if DATA or LOG used space is 80% or more. Sends an alarm if the LOG mode is not FULL.

Parameter	Description
Active	Use this field to activate or deactivate a line of configuration.
Tablespace	The tablespace name to look for. You can use * to match any tablespace or regular expressions.
Max used space (%)	The threshold for the tablespace used space.
Severity	The level of severity of the alarm generated by this line of surveillance.
Auto clear	If checked, the alarm will be cleared as soon as the alarm condition is not met anymore.
Alarm tag	This field allows to add custom text within the alarm message. %MSG% variable will contain the actual generated message and can be used such as: “my_prefix %MSG% my_suffix”. By default, tag will be used as prefix.
Alarm	If checked, this line of surveillance will be used for alarm generation.
Metric	If checked, this line of surveillance will be used for metric generation.
Report	If checked, this line of surveillance will used for showing threshold and severity in the daily report.

Active	Tablespace	Max used space (%)	Severity	Auto clear	Alarm tag	Alarm	Metric	Report
true	*	80	MAJOR	true		true	false	false

Effect : Sends a MAJOR alarm if any tablespace uses 80% of space or more.
