About the General: Database Size report

This home-level dashboard report provides graphical illustration of the database size at the time of the last poll. Placing this dashboard report in a dashboard allows you to view your database size at a glance.

The graph uses color to show the current status:

• Red. Above 75%
• Yellow. Between 50% and 75%
• Green. 50% or less

Under the graph, the database size is listed in MBs, along with the percentages for used and free space.

Note: Graphs will only show for Microsoft SQL Server Express Editions, as other editions of Microsoft SQL Server have no size limitations.
