Disk Free Space Monitor not showing in Health Explorer

I have enabled the SQL 2005 DB File - Disk Free Space Monitor via Authoring. This is a performance monitor and I would expect to see this appear in Health Explorer of a SQL Server but it doesn't!

Am I wrong in assuming that it should appear in the Health Explorer of a SQL Server?

Where will it appear?

Regards,

It does, my guess that you are looking in the 'Computer Health Explorer' and not the "Database Health Explorer". It is under Performance

Thank you. Yes, I was looking in the wrong place. Next question is, should I be able to see the OperationsManager DB as I can only see the ReportingServer DB?

Have you got the SRS on another servers and no OpsMgr Agent on the SQL Server?

If I check 'Agent Managed', I can see all 3 SQL Servers that support the OperationsManager, OperationsManagerDW and ReportServer databases. When I go in to Monitoring and click on Microsoft SQL Server > Databases > Database State. The only databases I see are the ones installed on the Reporting Server. I assume there is an agent on the other two servers or I wouldn't be ble to see them in Agent Managed but why can't I see them in Databases?

This is correct, but have a look for two things, 1 have you got a Service called 'System Center Management' (just a quick note Service Manager will have a service call the same, well in fact it is the same. I'll go into that another day.) Is this service started? 2: have a look in the logs, do you have a log called 'Operations Manager' have a look to see what event you have in there, if you have one. This will help workout that the Agent is working and therefore displaying information

Hi,

I may have discovered why the databases do not appear but I don't know how to resolve the problem. Can anyone please help?

We have two SQL Server Servers both with two named instances on them.

How do I monitor the databases on these named instances?

For example, InstanceA and InstanceB/InstanceB on Server1

and InstanceC and InstanceD/InstanceD on Server2

The agent has been deployed to Server1 and Server2 but we can not see the databases on these servers despite the SQL Management Pack being deployed.

regards,
