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.

Add the ability to report/analyize Index fragmentation
I would love to see the ability to see the Index Fragmention results in the report/anayize feature. I have been fighting index fragmention but cant really tell how much it has improved.

Monitor database total space usage not by individual data files.
I have many databases that we are monitoring for space which have multiple datafiles. Usually most the datafiles are full but at least 1 of the files is able to autogrow. Sometimes autogrow has reached its max limitation and sometimes we have turned it off once the file reached the largest size we will allow it. Our goal is to monitor so the database does not run out of space. We currently get alerts for the files that are full, we know some are full, we aren't worried about them, we still have 1 or 2 files we allow to…

Add a description for users in the manage users for active directory
In some environments, the user login doesn't necessarily match the true user's name. This would help navigate what the user is assigned to that specific account.

Export a Databases report to Excel including Name, Availability, Transactions/sec and Database size for any time period
In SQL Monitor I want to export a Databases report to Excel including Name, Availability, Transactions/sec and Database size for any time period. You can see this data and screenshot it, but it would be much more professional, useable and positive for management if I could deliver it in Excel instead of combining screenshots.

Understanding what caused the Diskspace alert
When viewing a disk space alert, it would be very useful to view the disk space usage for the drive the alert is raised for?
Ideally I'd like to to be able to get to the page: the Estate | Disk usage | [and filtered for the Specific Server: Drive:]
I understand that on the detail page of the server, you can see the growth of the databases for the selected time period, but its not always db files that cause the alerts.

Frequency of the customer metric
It would be useful if we can specify frequency less than 1 minute in the custom metric. Because sometime we need to check any metrics more than once a minute.

It would be a great feature to have SQL Monitor suggest efficiency recommendations the way that vRealize Ops Manager does, which is basically a tool you point at the environment and it shows you efficiency recommendations. Rather than having to perform time consuming manual analysis.

Show Compressed Backup size on Estate > Backups Screen
Currently the backup size displayed on the Estate > Backup screen is the uncompressed backup size which is useful but it would also be useful to include the compressed backup size because that's going to be the raw file size on disk when backup compression is enabled.
Knowing the compressed backup size is pretty useful when trying to assess how big a backup will be on disk.

Report - Longest running queries: Include Stored Procedure name
Please include the name of the stored procedure (where applicable) in the report of "Longest running queries".
Currently I need to use SQL Search to find the procedure that includes the query.You can do a LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.objects using objectid to find the name (objectname) of the originating stored procedure.

silence alerts for x hours
If an alert is firing repetitively for say a job failure, to be able to silence the alert for a number of specified hours (not permanently) if you know it will recover later, but you don't want to disable the job - just want the alerts to stop temporarily

Be able to give users different access to different groups
I would like to be able to give some developers Read-only access level to some servers (or server group). For example Production servers.
But give them Standard access level to other servers (or server group) so they can clear alerts for example and configure their own alerts.
