• Great article, Jonathan.

    For alerting and recording all auto grow of your databases, that is the way to go.

    Just for the record, if readers are saving default trace files: they also capture db growth information.

    Downside of using these trace files: you may miss one/some if the 20MB size is bering reached before your checking interval and they roll forward before you were able to copy them.

    ( and of course profiler being depricated ... )
