You can use alerts to monitor your databases' growth and send your users an email on the occurrence of certain events that you define. Alerts are also displayed on the SQL Size GUI Alerts page.

To raise alerts, you need to define the conditions using scripts. SQL Size is shipped with over 10 script templates that you can use to modify to suit your needs. To learn more about scripting, see the Scripting section.


On the left side, the list of monitored instances are displayed.


When you select an instance, the alert scripts that will run for that instance are selected. In the screenshot below, this means that SQL Size will run all the selected scripts every time it collects size data from the for the YOHZ_PROD_SS05E\DEV2005 instance instance.


On the right panel, the instances that run the currently selected script are displayed. In the screenshot below, this means that the 'raise alert if any paths have < 2 GB of free space' script is ran for the YOHZ_PROD_SS05E\DEV2005, YOHZ_PROD_SS05E\DEV2012, and YOHZ_PROD_SS05E\SQL2008 instances.
