I ignored this nice little feature till now, probably because mail configuration complexities. Now that we have DB mail, it has become very smooth.

I just implemented an alert for log growth, and found that it works very well.

Any of you using, alerts for , other interesting events?

No, we use MOM to notify us of any problems. I'd prefer to use NetIq, but we're stuck with MOM.

No idea on MOM or NetIq.

I am interested though , to find out - whether there is an alert for disk free space threshold?

Don't think so, but server monitoring tools have that.

You could potentially run a custom script and manage your reports along those lines.
