SQLWATCH 4.3: usp_sqlwatch_logger_disk_utilisation: sp_spaceused returns non-numeric data

[kekcjkee]

Describe the bug

insert into @spaceused
    exec [dbo].[usp_sqlwatch_internal_foreachdb] @command = 'use [?]; exec sp_spaceused @oneresultset = 1;'
        , @snapshot_type_id = @snapshot_type_id
        , @calling_proc_id = @@PROCID
        , @databases = @databases

The script for my one database returns resultset which contains nvarchar symbols "*". During execution procedure "usp_sqlwatch_internal_foreachdb" returns the error:

Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Procedure usp_sqlwatch_logger_disk_utilisation, Line 215 [Batch Start Line 0]
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.

I think it depends on size of a database. In my case it is 30T. (Yes, it is test env :) )

Hi, Can you help me fix this? I don't have 30TB db in my test setup :). What do you think the problem is?

Hi, I recently left a company where I managed a 30TB database. Initially, I thought that sp_spaceused utilized an int variable, but that turned out to be incorrect. I'm not sure why it doesn't work.
