How Spotlight tracks the growth of files
Data from tracked files is reported on the Windows Server | Overview page | Files panel. Spotlight raises a File - Exceeded Set Size alarm when a tracked file approaches the maximum file size set on this page. Spotlight raises a critical alarm when the file exceeds the maximum file size set on this page.
