    First, consider changing the way you handle autogrowth, since it's better to keep DB files sized the same. See this for more info: https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/4937/expand-all-database-files-simultaneously-using-sql-server-2016-autogrowallfiles/

    Saying that, check if these custom metrics I wrote can help you out:

    @Redgate: Consider adding these votes to https://sqlmonitor.uservoice.com/forums/91743-suggestions/suggestions/33130783-total-data-file-size-used-metrics-add-filegroup

    It's not identical, but close enough.

    This is better now (not sure when the change was made... I noticed it on 7.1.4+)... the metric selector is changing width depending on the metric name length. Maybe a bit jerky, but still much better than before.

    Well, an alternative idea to achieve this (i.e. to eliminate spike noise) is to enchance zooming / dragging in Analysis graph with an option to "lock" X-axis and only zoom/drag along Y-axis (the suggestion was merged here, so I'm reposting it).

    Indeed - in case of extreme spikes you don't see the details you want to, making the graph useless unless you "zoom in" to a shorter time period, thereby often losing overview of the long term baseline.
