Repository size since created

asked on May 4, 2023

Is there a way to check how much a repository has grown since its creation?  The user has gone to calculate sizes, but they say they didn't start at 0. This is for future projections to calculate growth.

 

Thank you!

I'm not sure if there's a built in metric but I've designed similar growth calculation reports using Workflow and having it run a search for documents by creation date filter(s), then retrieve the total document size for each entry and use token calculator to sum up the sizes of each document into a token.  Afterwards you report that summed up token value however you want (email, template fields, SQL Query).

Don't overcomplicate this - look at disk space utilization growth for wherever your repository volumes are. If you're using a network file share instead of attached disks, track space utilization within the share. If you don't have historical monitoring data, start now. Two or three months of data is likely sufficient for a basic growth projection unless the organization has strong cycling seasonal activity, in which case you can guesstimate a modifier.
