OnePoint Free Data Space Percentage

an anyone tell me if they have any information on the

alert, "OnePoint Free Data Space Percentage....".  The

message ends with the amount of free space my database

has.  The percent is close to 40 percent.  However i keep

receiving alerts on this as critical.  Is this really a

problem?  Is ther a way to correct it?  The full error

appears as is below:



I appreciate any help!

Mark,



This alert exists to because MOM needs roughly 40% of free space in the

database to perform maintenance tasks.

Tasks such as grooming and re-indexing require a lot of free working space

to work properly.

If you drop much below 40%, you'll notice more events telling you certain

maintenance tasks have failed.

If maintenance tasks fail, eventually you'll run out of space because

grooming hasn't taken place.



To resolve this you'll have to shorten your periods between grooming

intervals.

You'll find this in the Global Settings of the MOM Administrator Console.
