    Hi,

    you can use sql scripts from dbWarden. Here you got an email if there is an autogrowth on your database.

    Or you can configure alerts in the SSMS.

    There are built in utilities that let you monitor drive space on the system. Here's an example[/url] on how to use it.

    Hi,

    here is a link how to create alerts.

    If you had created them, you can script them yourself. It is very easy

    I wrote this:

    USE [Monitor]

    GO

    /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[sp_DBSizing] Script Date: 12/06/2013 12:01:44 ******/

    SET ANSI_NULLS ON

    GO

    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

    GO

    CREATE procedure [dbo].[sp_DBSizing]

    as

    begin transaction;

    EXECUTE master.sys.sp_MSforeachdb

    'USE [?];

    insert into monitor.dbo.tbl_DBSizing

    select CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

    , d.name

    , d.file_id

    , d.size

    , d.physical_name

    from sys.database_files d

    order by d.file_id, d.size;'

    commit;

    The information is logged to a holding table to be used in anticipating future storage requirements.

    Hi

    You can use the performance monitor (perfmon.exe) by choosing "Log growths" and "Data file(s)" under the MSSQL$Instance:Databases for a specific database.
