New Check - warn if there is not enough disk space for a file to grow

[michalporeba]

Especially with big file growth increments it is possible that there is still space in the file, but there is not enough space on the file for the next increment.

Arguably this may be covered by simply checking the disk space but that is asumming that everythign is fine. I have just started a new job and I'm in situation where there is less disk space than I'd like. If I wanted to have 20% or even 10% of disk space free I'd constantly see red. While the hardware is sorted out I'd like to be able to at least make sure no database will fill up if it is at all avoidable.

This is an excellent test

The Get-DbaDatabaseFile command would have all properties that are needed for this check. ref.

Properties I'd expect would be of use:

• Database
• NextGrowthEventSize
• VolumeFreeSpace

I wrote a sort of check for this today...

I can give the raw, working code if you like. The current version is instance based because of a client question who wanted monitoring on disk space. All databases should be able to grow once. If there's not enough space, some warning should be given.

#623 has been pull requested. And will no doubt be shot down but it might inspire the actual smart people here. Maybe.

Thank you. Definitely not shot down.
