email alert when index size reaches certain size

usup_rajbahak — Tue, 04 Mar 2014 21:57:20 GMT

Hello,

I can view the current size of an Index by going to the Indexes tab under Manager, but I'd like to be emailed if an index reaches or crosses certain size. This will hopefully help me keep track of the index size. How can I achieve this?

Thanks a lot
Usup

You can get the current index size using "eventcount" search command. Use following search to get the current index size and add where clause for your threshold index size and set this as a schedule search with alert action as email.

 | eventcount summarize=false report_size=true index=YourIndex  | eval size_MB=size_bytes/(1024*1024) | eval size_GB=size_MB/1024 | where size_GB > YourThresholdValue
