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.

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…

Tags in "About" section are viewable, but not selectable or copyable
The tags in the about section in a monitored Server are viewable, but not copyable.
We use tags for the category or a contact person or person of charge or additional information hints.This information as tags are a easy appoachable and fast way to see those information from a sql server.
But there is no easy way to copy the content of a tag. You can easily drop a tag or create a new tag, but is impossible to select/copy (somehow select + right click + copy or select + ctrl c) the content of a tag.

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…

add SSO option to the AD/LDAP logon screen
Attached file is from an application we use that allows the user to quickly logon as themselves, or to manually enter network credentials. In addition, the attached file shows a logon screen with the application version number; this too would be helpful for Redgate Monitor without having to login and check the configuration info page.

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 -
Show "HostPID" on deadlocks
Add "Hostname" and "Hostpid" detail to blocking processes and long running queries in RedGate, this information is available deadlocks.
This would help us to identify the process causing the blocking to further investigate fixes vs trying to work out the process from the SQL code, which can often look similar to other queries.

To add on - able to save the metric of baseline in 'Analysis' page by showing different metric graph with their own baseline
I think this idea is useful for metric comparison with the baseline. Currently, user need to select the metric every single time login into the page. This config could not be saved.

Webhook Filter on Alert Severtiy
Situation: After setting up a webhook of SQL Monitor to Service Now we are getting tickets of all priorities
Background: We would only like tickets to be created that are actionable
Assessment: We can enable this on the javascript side of the service now webhook to remove low priority webhook calls however it would be prefered to do it in RedGate
Recommendation: Is it possible to have the same feature that email has "Call webhooks only if alert severity is High or Medium only"

compare query metrics across instances
I would like to be able to compare query metrics across SQL Server server instances.
We have a number of environments - Dev / QA / UAT / Production
the data generally increases in volume and gets more "real" the further up the chain we go which can mean something that performs well against the "small data" on the dev server can become an issue when it hits UAT which has real volumes of data
It would be useful to be able to compare a query across instances so if we release a feature which comprises of a number of…

Estate view (SQL Server version) Discrepancies
For the SQL 2016 versions of SQL Server, we are seeing the software is flagging as "not current". However, we do have the latest SP/GDR.
This issue lies with the Azure Connect Feature which only applies to connections to Azure based on an article we read. . (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sql/releases/sqlserver-2016/build-versions)
We do not use Azure so we feel that this should not be a required patch.

Current Activity (sp_whoisactive) History
I would love to see snapshots of current activity (sp_whoisactive) taken on a regular cadence (e.g. every 5 minutes would be very useful for troubleshooting).
So in the current activity tab I can select a snapshot time from a dropdown of taken snapshot times. Backwards/Forward buttons advancing to the next/previous snapshot would very powerful.Having the top queries and waits etc. is super useful, but being able to see a snapshot of the active running queries around an incident would add a lot of value.
Appreciate that is potentially generating a significant volume of data so appropriate retention/default capture options/server…

Possible AI usage for Alerts in Red Gate Monitor
The alert system for Red Gate Monitor could be improved with some more intelligence. For example Full backup jobs and differential backups, weekly full, daily differential. Of course the differential will take a lot more time just before the full backup in comparison with the differential backup just after the full backup. If Monitor could "learn" the environment and only give alerts when things are really off then this would be much better.

Uncover hidden tuning opportunities by toggling graphs to a different scale
Two problems, one suggested solution: First, too often something important to us is hidden, because the graph showing the critical metric is skewed by another event. In order to show the peak of that event, the graph is scaled such that other activity is just a flat line at the bottom. Second, graphing multiple measures in a single graph, when their scales vary widely, makes interpretation difficult--for a contrived example, imagine plotting CPU (scales to 100) and batches per second (scales to tens of thousands for our web site). A tool for tuning MongoDB provides a beautiful solution, by allowing…
