Peter >Did somebody say there was a bug with EM 10g event - surrounding tablespace >freespace. Any details because we are about to start testing that event. I don't know if it's what you are looking for (it's not a bug...), anyway here an excerpt from the 10gR2 documentation: "Size-Based Tablespace Space Usage Alerts - This feature provides the ability to specify space pressure alerts based on the number of free bytes in the tablespace. Oracle Database 10g Release 1 provided alerts based on the percentage of the tablespace that was full; with the default being 85% for warning and 97% for critical alerts. For large tablespaces, you may want to specify thresholds in absolute values since a tablespace that is 97% full may still have substantial free space available which does not warrant an alert."
