Disk space Notification by Email

  • Comments posted to this topic are about the item Disk space Notification by Email

  • Here is my suggestion.

    Tested on SQL Server 2005, with sp_send_dbmail instead. Tests all drive letters.

    SQL Code only:

    DECLARE @debug INT

    SET @debug=1 -- 1=testing, else live

    SET @recipients='hsp@stovi.com'

    SET @lowlimit=5120 -- smallest limit (used on small disk drives)

    SET @highlimit=51200 -- somewhat higher limit on the other drives

    create table #FreeSpace(

    Drive char(1),

    MB_Free int)

    insert into #FreeSpace exec xp_fixeddrives

    SET @loopcounter=0

    WHILE @loopcounter < 26 BEGIN

    SET @loopcounter=@loopcounter+1

    SET @driveletter=CHAR(66 + @loopcounter) -- 66 = letter C

    SET @MB_Free = null

    select @MB_Free = MB_Free from #FreeSpace where Drive = @driveletter

    -- Free Space on x drive Less than Threshold

    IF @MB_Free < @lowlimit BEGIN

    SET @subject= 'SQL SERVER - Free Space Issue on the ' + @driveletter + ' Drive. Free space is ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), @mb_free) + ' MB. Treashold is ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), @lowlimit) + ' MB.'

    IF @debug= 1 SELECT @driveletter, @MB_free

    exec msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @recipients =@recipients, @subject =@subject, @body = @subject

    END

    -- for anything else than c: we use the higher limit

    SET @lowlimit = @highlimit

    END

    IF @debug= 1 SELECT * FROM #FreeSpace

  • Hi,

    just a small error ...

    henrik staun poulsen (11/23/2007)


    Here is my suggestion.

    SET @loopcounter=0

    WHILE @loopcounter < 26 BEGIN

    SET @loopcounter=@loopcounter+1

    SET @driveletter=CHAR(66 + @loopcounter) -- 66 = letter C

    if you start with drive C: you do not have 26 driveletters left, so it should be

    WHILE @loopcounter < 24 BEGIN

  • Is the procedure "xp_fixeddrives" documented in the MSDN? I am unable to find the documentation for this extended stored procedure. I ams using the SQL 2000 and it's MSDN.

    Please advise if I am missing anything.

    Thanks and regards,

    Jai Kumar K.

  • Hi,

    according to http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Administering/someundocumentedstoredprocedures/400/ it is an undocumented SP.

    xp_fixeddrives

    This very useful extended stored procedure returns the list of all

    fixed hard drives and the amount free space in Mb for each hard drive.

    You can find it under Databases -> master -> Programability -> Extended Stored Procedures -> System Extended Stored Procedures

  • Thanks Ruhland, thanks very much.

    Regards,

    Jai Kumar K.

  • I use a script very similar to this on SQL Server 2000. The documentation on xp_fixeddrives and xp_smtp_sendmail can be found using a simple Google search. I run the script once a day and send myself an email telling me the amount of space free. I also run the script about every hour using a second job. This time it only sends an email if a drive is below a threshold and it sends a copy to the network admin as well.
