The Autogrow function was not completeing. Took support 4 hours to find that it just needed to grow. I would like to monitor the db's so my members are not affected by an alert I could have gotten days ago.

Also, free space will be fragmented within the data file based on a number of factors. Overall free space may not be particularly useful - it's possible to have even more than 10% free, and the database may need to expand the file anyway, depending on the DML operation required. What is the goal of alerting on some kind of free space threshold?
