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.

Suppress Notifications until turned back on
There are times where we are configuring and testing an instance or cluster and want to monitor it, but would like to prevent notifications being fired while keeping alerts - having the ability to suppress the notifications until we turn it back on would be handy and take less administration overhead than configuring the alerts for each instance/cluster

View the name of the responsible Query or Job in Teams notification,
View the name of the responsible Query or Job in Teams notification, The Microsoft Teams notifications are great. good way of being notified if something is wrong. This could be improved by providing the name of the long running query or name of job that is blocking. the View in Redgate Monitor button does not help when just on phone. it's great when your in the office. but if your monitoring out of hours.

Add Key Lookups to the SQL Server metrics
Though Page Splits and Full scans are useful metrics for index's, key lookups can be handy in finding areas where covering indexes are required and have been helpful in seeing where there is a regressed query from a bad plan - this would be a handy metric to have within the SQL Server metrics part of the main dashboard next to the other 2 mentioned.

on the Query executions page add the SPID
on the query execution page for individual queries can you add the query SPID - on occasions such as blocking/stale session etc you need to find the query/last ran query by SPID rather than start/end time

Add ability to monitor MongoDB instances on atlas
Though Atlas does supply its own monitoring tool - having the ability to have a single pane of glass for all services by having the ability to monitor MongoDB which are hosted on atlas within redgate would be beneficial

Add Cname as a connection string instead of instance name
RGM usually connects with the instance name it automatically pulls down via the WMIC commands it runs on the nodes -There may be times were you have set the systems up that all connection certificates used the CNAME set up rather than the instance name for connection
Adding the ability to replace the instance name with a CNAME for connection will allow RGM to connect to the server securely18 votes -
Display running SQL text instead of full batch
Hi Team,
Currently, Active Sessions displays the full batch text instead of the exact running SQL statement. It would be significantly more valuable to show the specific executing query text.
Having immediate visibility into the exact query would allow us to quickly identify blocking, long-running, or resource-intensive statements without relying on additional tools or manual investigation. This would reduce troubleshooting time, speed up incident response, and improve overall performance monitoring efficiency.
I believe this enhancement would provide clear operational benefits for teams managing busy production environments. Thank you for considering it.

Select multiple groups for "latest alerts" sidebar
It would be great if we could select multiple groups in the latest alerts. For example, PostgreSQL Prod and PostgreSQL Dev/Test.
Background: We work in several subteams, such as Postgres and MSSQL. I would like to see only the latest alerts for PostgreSQL Prod and Test, and not for the other groups.And I don't want to switch the groups from PG Prod to PG dev.

We learned from a support ticket (and experience) that network utilization is monitoring in full duplex, therefore the maximum utilization is 200% instead of 100%. Unfortunately, I'm unable to modify our monitoring configuration to have thresholds above 100%. In a perfect world, network utilization would be split into two alerts, one for send and one for receive, this way we could manage the utilization limits separately. But if the perfect solution is not possible, then we'd at least like to be able to enter thresholds above 100% so we can alert at 150% utilization (for example).

Azure Service Principal authentication (Client ID / Client Secret)
It would be highly beneficial for us if Redgate Base Monitor supported authentication via Azure Service Principals using Client ID and Client Secret across all Azure products, including Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance.
We are restricted to using Service Principals only and cannot rely on user-based authentication. Support for SPN authentication would allow us to fully automate the onboarding of new Azure SQL Databases and Managed Instances via Terraform, using our own modules, and register them in Redgate without any manual interaction. This would significantly improve scalability, consistency, and security in our Azure monitoring setup.

Re-Check an alert
It would be helpful to have a "ReCheck Monitor" button for all of our alerts in Monitor. We have some checks that are only performed once per day. When those checks create alerts, we make quick work of resolution, but the alert doesn't clear for a long time (next day). It would be very helpful to have a button to force an immediate re-check. This would validate the fix and get us back to an all-green status quickly.

Improved Notification Methodology
It would be much to our advantage if notifications were their own object that could be tied to an object and inherited. This would allow us to tie the same notification to multiple alarms and make changes to all associated objects at once. Separating the notification from the alert would allow us flexibility with much simpler notification management. This feature would also allow us to look at things backwards to determine which alerts are tied to a given notification target.
Additionally, with a separate notifcation object we would gain the ability to have a different notifcation tied to Critical alerts…

Pass tags through the webhook json
I would like something like {{Target-tag}} to pass through the webhook, this will allow us to better spilt the alerts to the correct team on the other side so that 1 team isn't having to get all the alerts, but using other integrations and wrokflows with something like a tag we can spilt the alerts to different teams based on target and severity, but also with shared servers the tags will allow us to spilt those alerts as well.

Monitor SQL Fabric from Redgate Monitor
As our company leans into Microsoft Fabric, we'd love to continue utilizing Redgate's tools, but unfortunately, they're mostly incompatible. Our highest priority is the ability to monitor Fabric SQL from within Redgate Monitor, closely followed by Redgate Toolbelt functionality within SSMS. We love Redgate and we're moving into the future with Fabric. Please help us remain a dedicated customer and not have to look for additional tools. We love Redgate!

OpenID Connect client certificate or LDAPS
My company does not support OpenID "only client secret" and requests that Redgate Monitor use Client Certificate when authenticating users with Entra. Can you implement Client Certificate Support? Alternatively, how about to expand LDAP implementation to utilize SSL?

Monitor MySQL Database Instance on Windows Server hosts
https://sqlmonitor.uservoice.com/forums/91743-suggestions?query=Monitor%20MySQL%20Databases%20on%20Windows%20Server%20hostsCouldn't see it anywhere but Monitoring MySQL\MariaDB Database on a Windows Server Host is something is in development or on your roadmap?
I work in the Social Housing sector (Not for Profit) and just about every other housing association we collaborate with use applications running off a MySQL back end - hosted on a windows server.
These database back ends (along with the application) are primarily supported by ISV vendor - but they actively encourage us to monitor the database. We already have already invested in Redgate monitor for our our On Prem SQL server hosts and it would be…

Show Estate Groups in the "For" Dropdowns in Reports
In the Reports section, there is a "For" dropdown that allows you to select specific instances or "Everything". It would be helpful to be able to select a Groups of instances on the report or individual tiles within the report. These groups are setup in Configuration > Estate > Groups.
For example, you could group your servers into Production/Staging/Dev, then you'd be able to setup a report that only shows Production metrics/issues.
