Description

This is in reference to the SQL best practices assessment on Azure IaaS VM.

The HelpLink appears to be incorrect for check ID DbSpaceAvailable. The URL, [https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/relational-databases/databases/database-states], refers to the Online/Offline/Restoring/Recovering states of a database.

I spent some time trying to find a more accurate URL and this is the best I could find: [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sql/admin/considerations-autogrow-autoshrink#why-do-i-have-to-worry-about-disk-space-if-size-settings-are-automatically-controlled]

Pointing to documentation that talks about performance impact of data file growth might be another option.

Research direction

Start by locating the SQL best practices assessment entry for check ID DbSpaceAvailable and inspect its current HelpLink. Compare the existing database-state URL with the proposed autogrow/autoshrink documentation, and consider whether a page about data-file growth performance is more accurate. Done means the HelpLink points to documentation relevant to the assessment.
