Viewing database free space status

The Database Free Status is displayed at the bottom of the ProvisoInfo Browser. Free space is computed using metric data and metadata tablespaces.

About this task

The Database Free Space Status values include the following:

Value Description
NORMAL (green) Indicates that the database is functioning properly. More than or equal to 30 percent of free space is available.
WARNING (orange) Indicates that database free space is minimal. Less than or equal to 30 percent of free space is available.
CRITICAL (red) Indicates that you need to purge part of the database. Less than or equal to 10 percent of free space is available
DEADZONE (maroon) Indicates that the database might not be functioning properly. Less than or equal to 5 percent of free space is available.
Note: If a warning, critical, or deadzone status exists, the affected tab in the ProvisoInfo Browser displays the appropriate color code (orange, red, or maroon).

A refresh is automatically started every day at 4 p.m. If the status is not normal, a message is sent to Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager user via the notifyDBSpace script (located in the bin directory of the DataMart installation path).
