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.

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.

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…

I would like to suppress an alert in PostgreSQL log

Create an alert that triggers when receiving only partial telemetry from a server
I have a situation where Redgate Monitor is sometimes not receiving telemetry from the server OS. This occurred sporadically for several weeks until I had to open the server's detailed information, where I discovered the missing telemetry. The monitor triggered no alerts during those weeks despite it being caused by crashing windows services.
I've attached a screenshot that shows the missing telemetry for CPU and memory, caused by the perfmon service timing out and crashing.
After opening a ticket I was informed that there are no alert conditions in the monitor to detect this situation. This seems like a crucial…

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).

new altert for service state of PowerBI Reporting Services PBIRS like "SQL Server Reporting Service status (2017+)"
In addition to SQL Server Reporting Services SSRS, we have more and more PowerBI Reporting Services PBIRS.
For SSRS since 2017 there is a separate alarm "SQL Server Reporting Service status (2017+)" in Redgate.
This tells us when an SSRS is no longer running. This also works.However, as far as I can tell, this alert does not cover PBIRS.
Recently, customers increasingly want PBIRS instead of SSRS and unfortunately we do not currently see the status of the PBIRS service in Redgate and do not receive an alert if this service is not running.We know that PBIRS and…

In AzureSQL, I would like Redgate Monitor to not "keep awake" systems which are set to "sleep".
Within AzureSQL you can set SQL Servers to be Serverless and also to "sleep after" a time window. This means you can save money for systems which are not heavily used.
I think Redgate Monitor needs to have a "light touch" mode for such systems where it will firstly check the config and say "ok, this server is asleep, I dont need to look at it" before reporting maybe in the infomration status "system asleep". When the system wakes up, it should monitor as normal.
This is a cost saving exercise since, after adding Redgate to our Legacy AzureSQL servers,…3 votes -
Server & instance stats on main window
I'd like to be able to see at a glance the basic details of my instance and the server on which it is running.
I would love if I could see the following on the main screen:
• SQL Server Version — SQL Server 2022 CU16 | 16.0.4150 (CU16)
• Server Version — WS 2022 21H2 | 20348.2762
• Instance details — 3x 3.0GHz | 12GB | 1TB (or whatever is allocated to the instance)
• Free Space — 0.1TB of 1TB (drives will have to be chosen)
• Instance status — SERVER\NAMEDINSTANCE
• No. of Instances — 6 (only…1 vote -

be able to add individual machines instead of an entire cluster
Right now when adding a node to Redgate Monitor and if it's part of a cluster, the entire cluster is added (even when switching off the auto-discovery of the clustername as this is only applied to the name itself).
Especially with large cluster estates, it's not possible to add a single node instead of the entire cluster.
This has impact on licenses, as the entire cluster needs to be licensed instead of each individual node that you actually want monitoring for.6 votes -

Make configuring alerts easier
Currently we have several instances grouped into three top-level groups and then several subgroups underneath. This structure allows us to set alerts at the group level and then drop instances in and out of that defined set.
If we select a group and configure an alert setting, when the page refreshes it does not return back to that same sub-group, instead opting to go back to the very top 'All Servers' level which if not spotted can mean you then select the next alert to configure and inadvertently change the setting for all servers.
This seems like basic functionality but…

implementing user permission settings at the instance level, rather than at the cluster level.
In my company, it is crucial to implement permission settings at the instance level, rather than at the cluster level, for accessing overviews and creating summarized reports. ~
This feature is extremely important because our clusters are shared by multiple tenants/instrances, and we need the ability to assign specific permissions to the respective owners of each instance.4 votes -
Subject line change on Alerting .Include TargetObject name instead of Base monitor server
Dear team ,
We are successfully integrated SQL Monitor with halcyon monitoring Via SNMP traps. Business rules in Halcyon generates the ticket in SD and it comes to DBA's for action.
we are happy that setup is working as expected but we wanted to have a TargetSystem name in subject line of the alerts instead of coming as base monitor server name where SQL monitor hosted . This will let us take a quick glance on high priority systems rather than less priority .
Subject line should include target Object instead of base monitor server name (which is default for…4 votes -
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.

Set database file usage per drive level on the DATABASE LEVEL
, i know we can 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 met its capacity 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…

identify blocking sql no longer executing, but didnt commit transaction
I want to be able to see the blocking statemement of a session that is done executing a statment, but did not commit the transaction. It seems that the "blocking Statment" is missing in the blockchain, if the statement causing the block is no longer executing. This leads me to think that your currently pulling the sqlhandle of the blocking session, whereas the more , or at least sometimes more appropiate think to do is to pull the "mostrecentsqlhandle" from sqltext. please consider.
