Project Notes
This Nagios plugin checks Oracle tablespace usage. It makes an SQL query using Oracle's sqlplus command to calculate tablespace usage percentages for given Oracle SID and databases. Using '-a' option makes plugin autoextension aware, e.g. usage percentage is determined by comparing used space against maximum tablespace size allowed by autoextension, not the current size. Examples: # check_oracle_tablespace.sh -s SID -d 'FOO.*' -w 80 -c 90 TABLESPACE CRITICAL: FOODB1 98% WARNING: FOODB2 82%; FOODB3 84% # check_oracle_tablespace.sh -s SID -d 'FOO.*' -w 80 -c 90 -a TABLESPACE CRITICAL: FOODB1 AUTOEXT 91%

Update with this query
by vegatripy, August 31, 2015
The problem with the original query is if you have a tablespace with mixed autoextend and fixed size datafiles (it's rare, but it's possible).
If you want to fix it, you can replace the query from lines 247 to 282 with this one that I've made:
select
z.TABLESPACE_NAME,
round(((Mbytes_used - Mbytes_free) / Mbytes_used) * 100) usage_pct,
round(decode(MAXMBYTES, 34359721984, 0, (Mbytes_used - Mbytes_free) / MAXMBYTES * 100)) max_pct,
case
when (select count(distinct AUTOEXTENSIBLE) from dba_data_files where TABLESPACE_NAME = z.TABLESPACE_NAME) > 1 then 'YES/NO'
else (select distinct AUTOEXTENSIBLE from dba_data_files where TABLESPACE_NAME = z.TABLESPACE_NAME)
end as AUTOEXTENSIBLE
from
( select TABLESPACE_NAME,
sum (Mbytes_used) Mbytes_used,
sum (Mbytes_free) Mbytes_free,
sum (MAXMBYTES) MAXMBYTES
from
(
select substr(df.TABLESPACE_NAME,1,length(df.TABLESPACE_NAME)-4) TABLESPACE_NAME,
df.BYTES/1024/1024 Mbytes_used,
nvl(fs.BYTES/1024/1024, 0) Mbytes_free,
df.MAXBYTES/1024/1024 MAXMBYTES,
df.AUTOEXTENSIBLE
from
(
select TABLESPACE_NAME||LPAD(FILE_ID,4,0) TABLESPACE_NAME,
sum(BYTES) BYTES,
AUTOEXTENSIBLE,
decode(AUTOEXTENSIBLE, 'YES', sum(MAXBYTES), sum(BYTES)) MAXBYTES
from dba_data_files
group by TABLESPACE_NAME||LPAD(FILE_ID,4,0),
AUTOEXTENSIBLE
)
df
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(
select a.TABLESPACE_NAME||LPAD(FILE_ID,4,0) TABLESPACE_NAME,
sum(a.BYTES) BYTES
from dba_free_space a
group by TABLESPACE_NAME||LPAD(FILE_ID,4,0)
)
fs
ON df.TABLESPACE_NAME=fs.TABLESPACE_NAME
order by df.TABLESPACE_NAME desc
) a
group by TABLESPACE_NAME
) z
order by 1 asc

weird Maxbytes setting
by Hulskamp, November 30, 2013
The script works if there are multiple datafiles. With one datafile and autoextension enabled, for some reason the creator opted to default to 0 for the total percentage used by a tablespace. I have no idea why.

If you apply this patch, everything seems to work:

Does what it says
by nologo, July 31, 2009
Very good plugin that does exactly what it says. The only disadvantage is that I prefer larger plugins that accomplish far more; no one really wants to test tons of different plugins from different developers before they put them in their prod environments.
