Here is some queries extracted from an Access program to collect stats on SQL data bases
FOR SQL 7:
SQL = "SELECT DB.name AS DBname, DB.crdate as DBCrDate, DB.Status as Status,DB.Status2 as Status2,DB.dbid," & _ "AF.[size] AS DBsize,ISNULL(SUSER_SNAME(DB.sid), '') AS Owner_FullNetworkID " & _ "FROM master.dbo.sysaltfiles AF RIGHT OUTER JOIN master.dbo.sysdatabases DB ON AF.dbid = DB.dbid " & _ "WHERE AF.groupid = 1"
FOR SQL 2000:
SQL = "SELECT DB.name AS DBname, DB.crdate as DBCrDate, DB.Status as Status,DB.Status as Status2,DB.dbid," & _ "AF.[size] AS DBsize,ISNULL(SUSER_SNAME(DB.sid), '') AS Owner_FullNetworkID " & _ "FROM master.dbo.sysaltfiles AF RIGHT OUTER JOIN master.dbo.sysdatabases DB ON AF.dbid = DB.dbid " & _ "WHERE AF.groupid = 1"
For SQL 2005
SQL = "SELECT DB.name AS DBname, DB.status as Status, DB.status2 as Status2, DB.crdate AS DBCrDate,DB.dbid," & _ "AF.size AS DBsize,ISNULL(SUSER_SNAME(DB.sid), '') AS Owner_FullNetworkID " & _ "FROM msdb.sys.sysdatabases AS DB " & _ " LEFT OUTER JOIN " & _ " (SELECT * FROM msdb.sys.sysaltfiles WHERE groupid=1) AS AF " & _ " ON DB.dbid = AF.dbid " For SQL 2008:
SQL = "SELECT DB.name AS DBname, DB.status as Status, DB.status2 as Status2, DB.crdate AS DBCrDate,DB.dbid," & _ "AF.size AS DBsize,ISNULL(SUSER_SNAME(DB.sid), '') AS Owner_FullNetworkID " & _ "FROM msdb.sys.sysdatabases AS DB " & _ " LEFT OUTER JOIN " & _ " (SELECT * FROM msdb.sys.sysaltfiles WHERE groupid=1) AS AF " & _ " ON DB.dbid = AF.dbid "

thx
this is what i have so far from what you pointed me to
select @@servername, a.database_id as Database_ID ,a.name as Database_Name, b.name as FileName, substring(b.physical_name, 1,1) as Drive_Letter, b.physical_name as Path, b.size as File_Size, b.max_size, b.growth, a.create_date, a.recovery_model_desc, a.page_verify_option_desc from sys.databases a inner join sys.master_files b on a.database_id = b.database_id
my perfmon query is
declare @dayofthemonth int; declare @month int; declare @hour int; declare @minute int; set @dayofthemonth = (select DATEPART(day, getdate())); set @month = (select DATEPART(month, getdate())); set @hour = (select DATEPART(hour, getdate())); set @minute = (select DATEPART(minute, getdate()));
with free_hd_space_cte as ( select a.counterid, substring(a.machinename,3,20) as machinename, a.objectname, a.countername, a.instancename, convert(int, b.countervalue) as CounterValue, max(convert(datetime, substring(b.counterdatetime,1, 16))) as TimeRead from counterdetails a inner join counterdata b on a.counterid = b.counterid where b.counterid in (select CounterID from counterdetails where objectname = 'logicaldisk' and countername in ('Free Megabytes') and instancename != '_Total') and convert(datetime, substring(b.counterdatetime,1, 16)) > getdate() -1 group by a.machinename, a.instancename, a.counterid, a.objectname, a.countername,b.countervalue, b.counterdatetime --order by a.machinename, a.instancename, a.counterid ) select distinct MachineName, ObjectName, CounterName, InstanceName, Countervalue, TimeRead from free_hd_space_cte where datepart(day, timeread) = @dayofthemonth and datepart(month, timeread) = @month and datepart(hour, timeread) = @hour and datepart(minute, timeread) between 0 and 9 and countervalue < 30 --and (select countername from free_hd_space_cte where countervalue < 30 and countername = '% Free Space') group by MachineName, ObjectName, CounterName, InstanceName, CounterValue, timeread --having datepart(minute, timeread) between 0 and 9 order by machinename, countername, countervalue asc, instancename
plan is to dump the result of the first querry into a database every day and then change the second to join on that table to return more data. since a lot of our database files stay big with a lot of white space in them i don't want to check them when a drive is low on space. i want a single report with free space on each drive, the database files on there and the free space in each one
next is to find where SQL stores the data to see how much free space is in each file
found it, going to look in sp_spaceused and take the code from there to use for this report

Out of my experience I have couple of more things that can be added to monitoring checklist.
Backups It is very important to check integrity of the backup files. Once in a while try to restore .bak files on some dummy database just to confirm the backed up databases are good enough to restore in times emergencies
Disk Space Keep track on size of database and how fast is it growing. These records can be used for future analysis of capacity planning

I found the article to be very interesting as well but I have a similar situation where I have several servers. I would like the names of some 3rd party vendors to automate this process.
