Estate Page - Disk Usage - Show Actual with Allocated
There's plenty of real-estate to include a column for database file rows that shows the true "USED" space, not the Allocated space.
Right now, SQM is predicting data drive exhaustion at 16 days hence:
Fake "Used": 5,634.5 GB Capacity: 5,959.4 GB Fake "% Used": 95% Time until full: in 16 days
Sadly, Untrue, from a "Used" perspective - only true from an Allocated perspective!
When I drill into that drive, THIS is the truth:
Used: 4,752.6 GB Capacity: 5,611.7 GB
Please promote this "USED" as a higher-level total, and use it as a projection - i.e., retain a history of USED by DB drive and project from THAT, not from allocated. (misnamed column on the main page needs fixing)
This saves "serious problem here" knee-jerk reactions from the main page, forcing the SQM User to drill-down only to find, "no problem here".
Thanks.
