Extents monitoring in our case is different from fragmentation. In
this case we're merely monitoring objects which are nearing their
maxextents, or objects which may not be able to allocate their next
extent for various reasons.
Configuring extents monitoring, consider how early you want to be warned or alerted of a situation. If your tables become populated rapidly, you may want to know earlier when they require adjustments or rebuilding. Here's an example: extents:15:2:1 This directs karma to check every 15 minutes for extents which are within 2 extents of their max (WARNING), or 1 extent (ALERT). The first value is always the WARNING value, and the second ALERT. In addition, objects may have their pctincrease set above 0. If that's the case, karma will also check in a similar manner for objects which although they may not be nearing their maxextents value, are nevertheless nearing a situation where they will not be able to allocate another extent.
