The tab contains information about the size of database files over time. On the screen, we can verify the size of individual files for the entire period since the instance is connected to the monitoring. By pointing to a specific one in the table, the graph will display the occupancy history for the selected time interval.
Storage Forecast
The screen also provides an option to forecast the occupancy of storage space. This
functionality will easily help any database administrator to predict the size of files and
facilitate the Capacity Planning process.
In order to check the occupancy of individual
data files in the future, check the Show Storage Forecast options.
The database occupancy forecast is calculated based on the data collected by applications and
stored in the repository database. Forecasting can be done on the basis of historical data
from the last 3 , 6 months as well as the whole year. We can display the forecasted period for
a range (3-6 months and from 1 to 3 years). After the forecast is made, a graph will be
displayed on the chart with the given information about the occupancy of the database in the
future.
