!!! note "DB Size"
The **DB Size** row and the [*Nightscout* Database Size alarm](lf-features.md#alarms){: target="_blank" } both read from *Nightscout*'s `dbsize` plugin, so your site must have that plugin enabled. The percentage is measured against the site's `DBSIZE_MAX` setting, which is **496 MB** unless the site owner changed it. Because that setting may not match your hosting plan's real limit, the row leads with the absolute used MB figure, which is always meaningful.
