Monitor Exchange Database Size?

[Leddy]

Anyone do this? I don't see any performance counters specifically for this. I found a recoverable items size, but not the actual DB. I am monitoring from a linux box so WMI is out. I looked on the SNMP Informant page and it has conflicting information on whether it does or not. It also costs money so I am trying to avoid that if possible.

The best thing I can think of is setup a batch file/wmi query or something as a scheduled task to auto FTP to the linux machine. I'm not to keen on that idea.

Anyone monitor this is it possible?

I'm also looking to do the same thing from a linux cacti machine. Anyone have an ideas?

If you have a script, I have the solution: See second to last link of my signature

Did anyone ever get this to work ? This would be great to have running.

I've created a graph for Exchange 2000 database size.
I'll post it soon.

Did you get any joy with this graph ? This would be extremely useful for me !

Thanks

No takers ? Does anyone have a method to graph Exchange database sizes ?

Look into using nsclient which will then allow you to do wmi calls.
