Tablespace Used % – USERS

Install metric...

Metrics install automatically if you have Redgate Monitor installed.

If you are using Redgate’s SQL Server monitoring tool, Redgate Monitor, you can instantly install and run this metric on your servers.

A permanent tablespace that fills up forces Oracle to throw ORA-01653 / ORA-01654 and halts the operations that need space. This metric tracks the used percentage of a tablespace, already accounting for the autoextend maximum, so it reflects true remaining headroom rather than just current file size. Create one instance of this metric per permanent tablespace you want to monitor, substituting the tablespace name in the WHERE clause; the metric automatically returns one value per container (PDB) that has the tablespace.

Required permissions:

GRANT SELECT ON CDB_TABLESPACE_USAGE_METRICS TO redgate_monitor_user CONTAINER=ALL;

These are covered by Redgate Monitor’s standard Oracle monitoring user — if it was set up as described in the product documentation, no additional grants are needed.
