I think "Q LOG F=D" just reports active space usage. My solution was
to monitor the usage on the directory containing the archive log files
through cron. Once the free space on the filesystem drops below a
certain threshold I'll kick off a DB backup using dsmadmc.

Are you looking for more than the Q LOG FORMAT=DETAILED produces?

Subject: [ADSM-L] How to monitor Archive Log space in TSM V6?

Happy Friday everyone.

Does anyone know of a way to monitor the current utilization, along with total 
and free space, in the Archive Log directory from within TSM or DB2?  I guess 
this is really a DB2 question.

It is clear that DB2 does this internally so that it can trigger automated DB 
backups, but I have never seen any reference to queries or tables accessible 
via SQL that report anything other than the size and utilization of the space 
within the pre-allocated Active Log files.

I am trying to remotely monitor this resource on a number of TSM servers on 
different platforms and don't want to go the route of rsh/rexec if possible.

Thanks!
Scott
