Suggestions
Welcome to the Redgate Monitor feature suggestions list. Tell us how we can improve Redgate Monitor by voting on these suggestions or by submitting your own ideas.
This is the easiest way to make an impact on Redgate Monitor’s roadmap. Check out the completed suggestions to see how your ideas have influenced us in the past. Please note that this list is one of multiple sources that drive our development, meaning that we will not always implement the highest-ranking suggestions.
To give your idea the greatest possible impact, please follow these guidelines:
- Describe the goal you’re trying to accomplish, rather than a specific solution to get there
- If you have a favoured solution, add it as a comment to your suggestion
- Give us as much context as possible
- Only make one suggestion per post. If you have multiple ideas, submit them in separate posts
- Comment and vote on existing posts to develop the ideas — the Redgate Monitor team will often stay quiet initially about new suggestions to see what you have to say!
If you have any questions visit the Redgate Monitor forum.

File Usage per File Group within the DB
Want to be able to set database file usage per drive level on the server level. But there are many times when a vendor created db, they have multiple data files mdf/ndf and have them set to limits. So i was wondering can we get even more granular. I want to be able to drill down to the database and select a particular file group and say ignore this drive, it has meet its capascity and even though its 100% filled data is no longer being written there. And the reason behind that is there can be multiple data files…

Have the RG tempdb table indexed
The RGAllObjectsv4 table in tempdb currently accounts for 7 of the top 20 missing index suggestions on our production server via the built-in report in SSMS. Can this be indexed by RG so that the indexes will be reapplied when the server or service is restarted? I've attached the list of suggestions.

Alert suppresion window by specific date every month
We do our maintenance on scheduled windows on the 20th and 21st day of every month, including weekends.
Currently, it is not possible to set up such a recurring alert suppression window.
Can you add this to the Redgate Monitor alert suppression settings?1 vote -
Pull Server Certification Info
Would like to request enhancement to be able to create a report to pull Server Certificate info, and have an email sent out to notify us 30/60/90 days before hand when it will expire. Pull details like the certificate issuer, validity period, and common name from the server certificate installed on the target machine.

Additional option on the Alert Suppression Windows
It would be great to have an additional option on the Alert Suppression Windows to have the ability to only stopping sending notification for new alerts and continue to send the notification for the end of alerts
I guess something like "Notification for new Alerts only (alerts will still be raised)"
The idea would be to receive the end of alert notifications for alerts that were ongoing when the alert suppression window started10 votes -
Allow changing first day of week
I would be nice to be able to configure the first day of the week as Monday, instead of Sundays. This is the most common definition of weeks in Europe. Other parts of the world have different perspectives, so any day should the selectable.
This is visible in all dropdowns where a date can be selected.1 vote -
Search by Query hash in Top queries
As discussed in https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/91306/search-by-query-hash-in-top-queries/p1?new=1
it would be very useful to be able to search by Query hash in Top queries.Scenarios:
- for complex (and parametrized) queries it may not be enough to be searched by QueryText, DatabaseName or ParentObjectName;
- if queries impact is also investigated and tracked in external systems the QueryHash may be (the only common) field to quickly identify and find that query in Redgate Monitor.1 vote -
Set default Redgate Monitor time zone
My Redgate Monitor server is on a server with the time zone set to UTC. When I open a Redgate Monitor on that server I get all the times in UTC, which is great.
When I open a Redgate Monitor on my local computer, the GUI shows the times adjusted for my timezone.
Since my team is monitoring from different locations in different time zones, we get different times depending on the timezone.
I would like an option in Redgate Monitor configuration to easily set a default time zone so all the users can see the same time zone.

Additional column for each statement with the total duration including the wait time
On the history dashboard, I would like to have an additional column in the top queries area in which the duration including the duration of the wait events is displayed for each statement.
So far I have assumed that these are already included in the existing duration column. In context with a service request, I understood that this is not the case.
At first glance, I need the actual total duration without manually adding the waits statement by statement.

Add alias to rest api
The rest endpoint api/v1/monitored-entities should include the alias field. It would present as an empty string if the monitored entity does not have as an alias and filled in if an alias has assigned to the monitored object.

I would like to customize the behavior when job failures happen. We get an alert on the 1st but no additional until the job is successful
I would like to customize the behavior when job failures happen. We get an alert on the 1st error but no additional alert until the job is successful. It would be nice to have the ability to allow this behavior as a default but then have the option to have specific Job Failures alert every time (mainly for jobs that run weekly or greater).

Alert "regarding "instance alerts" - Cluster failover - for Postgres"
for Alert "regarding "instance alerts" - Cluster failover - for Postgres", would like to have it available on the individual server level and not just the monitoring group. That way we can customize our notification accordingly.

customize email notifications
I would like to be able to customize the email notifications in redgate through the use of variables that can be substituted anywhere in the email notification (title, body etc..). At the very least I would like the alert id to be added to the title of the email and not just the body.

Report to identify alert overrides
We are using the alert categories "Host machine alerts", "Instance Alerts", "SQL Server alerts", and "Availability Group alerts" for our SQL Server environment. We have defined general thresholds for the alerts w/in each category. We then have situations where we override the alerts for a monitored object in an alert subgroup or the monitored object itself because the general alert threshold(s) don't make sense for the sub group or the object. It would be very useful to have a report which shows where we have performed these alert overrides. A report showing where an alert is overriden or a report…
