General: Database Table Usage

This home-level dashboard report provides bar graphs of the top five WhatsUp Gold database tables' usage. The remaining database table space usage is graphed in the Other category. If Flow Monitor is installed, Flow Monitor or Flow Monitor Archive database views can be configured to display the number of records for each record type in the dashboard report. Placing this dashboard report in a dashboard allows you to view the top five database table sizes and manage the database size as it grows.

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

Tip: You can use the Alert Center to set database threshold alerts for WhatsUp Gold and Flow Monitor. For more information, see Configuring a WhatsUp Health threshold.
