    Hi

    I'm sure there used to be a counter in perfmon that allowed you to monitor the size of an individual file, however I can't find it in Server 2008. The reason that I need it is to monitor the growth of TempDB on a server running Microsoft SQL Server 2008.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks,

    Julia.

    Hi Julia,

     

    Based on the test, we can add the following performance counter to monitor the file size of TempDB on a Windows Server 2008 that is running SQL Server 2008.

     

    "SQL Server: Database (tempDB)\Data File(s) Size"

     

    Please note: this counter won't appear until we install SQL server entry on the Windows Server 2008 because the counter is provided by SQL Server.

     

    Hope it helps.
