Hello people,
How are you ?
In this post, I will demonstrate how to identify and monitor the total, free, and used disk space of your instance databases. This post is a complement to my post. SQL Server - How to identify and monitor disks, free and used total disk spacewhere I demonstrated how to identify, analyze and monitor disk space on disk drives.
How to identify the total, free and used space of databases
For this need, I will use the views:
- sys.master_files: Datafiles Information for Your Databases
- sys.databases: Database Information
- sys.dm_os_volume_stats: DMV that shows information about the physical disks of a datafile
To create the script below, I decided to make some validations on the view information, since some situations end up generating inaccurate and incorrect information in their monitoring. These validations are:
- If the maximum datafile size is larger than the maximum disk size, the actual maximum datafile size is the maximum disk size and not the datafile size.
- If the maximum size of the datafile is set to “Unlimited”, the actual maximum size of the datafile will be the maximum size of the disk and the free space of the datafile will be the free space of the disk on which the datafile is.
- If datafile growth is set to percent, some columns will not be calculated, leaving NULL (growth_times)

Script Result:
Columns returned:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| database_id | Database ID generated by SQL Server engine |
| database_name | Database Name |
| state_desc | Database status. Possible values: 0 = ONLINE 1 = RESTORING 2 = RECOVERING | SQL Server 2008 to current version 3 = RECOVERY_PENDING | SQL Server 2008 to current version 4 = SUSPECT 5 = EMERGENCY | SQL Server 2008 to current version 6 = OFFLINE | SQL Server 2008 to current version 7 = COPYING | Azure SQL Database 10 = OFFLINE_SECONDARY | Azure SQL Database |
| type_desc | Datafile Type: ROWS = Data Datafile LOG = Datafile of transaction log data |
| file_id | SQL Server engine generated datafile ID |
| name | Datafile Name |
| physical_name | Physical path of datafile on disk |
| disk_total_size_GB | Total size in GB of physical disk where datafile is |
| disk_free_size_GB | Free space in GB of physical disk where datafile is |
| size_GB | Current size (used) in GB of database |
| max_size_GB | Maximum size in GB of datafile as configured in Autogrowth. If Autogrowth is off, it will show 0.00. If the Autogrowth limit is set to "Unlimited", this column will display negative values or 2048 GB, depending on your SQL Server version. |
| max_real_size_GB | REAL maximum size in GB of datafile. As explained above, some validations are made to get the actual datafile size, because in some situations, the maximum datafile size that the view returns is not the actual one. |
| free_space_GB | Free size in GB of datafile |
| growth_MB | Size in MB the datafile will grow due to Autogrowth events. If Autogrowth is off, it will show 0.00. |
| is_percent_growth | Boolean column that tells you whether the datafile growth form is set to a size in MB (0 value) or a percentage value (1 value) |
| is_autogrowth_enabled | Boolean column that tells you whether datafile Autogrowth is enabled (1 value) or disabled (0 value) |
| percent_used | Returns datafile space utilization percentage value |
| growth_times | Returns the number of times the datafile can grow through autogrowth events. This column is calculated only if the autogrowth type is set to grow by size. If autogrowth is set to grow by percentage, this column has a value of NULL. |
How to monitor total, free and used space of databases
Guys, now that I have demonstrated how to check your datafiles disk space (there are several others on the internet), I am going to show you how to monitor your instance datafiles disk space and send alerts via email.
To assist in generating the HTML code, I will use stpExporta_Table_HTML_Output, but could also use fncExporta_Query_HTML, available at:
- SQL Server - How to Email a Query Result in HTML Format Using CLR (C #)
- How to export data from a SQL Server table to HTML
To send the email, I will use the Stored Procedure msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail, from SQL Server DatabaseMail. If you have not set up or did not know how to do it, learn more by visiting SQL Server - How to enable and configure Database mail to send and monitor database emails (sp_send_dbmail).
