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.

I would like alert sounds.
Every product I have used in the past allowed for an Alert sound that you could turn off and on. I get that this is annoying to some people but for certain alerts I like to have a sound on them because I am not LOOKING at RedGate or my email, but I always have RedGate open. So setting any High alerts to a certain sound let everybody in the office know that there was an issue.

Resizing Reports
It would be quite good if you could edit the size of the report and stretch to make it easier to read. Currently (may be an option to) the data over a 7 days period for example is condensed.

DatabaseName custom message parameter addition for Custom Webhook messages
I would like to share with the developers the alerts for the different databases we have in the same server instance. I noticed for custom webhook messages. It looks like the option was there (like monitoredEntity.azureSqlDatabaseName).
One of the SQL instances we have is a shared instance with multiple databases so the owner of the database can know exactly what database is failing
Right now I have the following custom message
{
"text": "{{alert-severity}}: An alert of type \"{{alert-name}}\" has been \"{{alert-status}}\" for {{alert-target-name}}.\r\nVisit {{alert-url}} for details."
}
Where I cannot specify which database is that alert for. I consider…

Configure job duration unusual alerts to ignore negative variances
Typically (although there are exceptions) I'm not concerned if a job has a high negative variance compared to baseline. One other way to satisfy this would be another suggestion already in here, allowing for more configurable options such as a floor/ceiling variance .

Ignore failing jobs using regex
the config for JOB DURATION UNUSUAL alerts allows the use of regex to filter the jobs to ignore.
this functionality would be very useful for FAILING JOBS alerts

Automatic failover when GEO replication is set up for PaaS servers
It would be great to have a feature to monitor automatic failover when GEO replication is set up between PaaS servers.
It is quite useful information to understand if failover occurs.

Monitor individual CPU cores and not just avg CPU as a whole
AVG CPU is not enough of an indication of how things are going - There could be an entire numa node maxed at 100% while other nodes are almost idle and it will drag the avg down.
As per here: https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/comment/162141#Comment_162141

Get notification for when a SQL Agent job is in a retry state
Hi, it would be really useful if SQL Monitor could identify when any currently executing job steps are in a retry state. We have many such jobs and the time lost whilst they are in such a state is frustrating as if we had notification we could take action. I appreciate I can roll my solution but would be nice if SQL Monitor could do it :)

Enter and assign purchased SQL licenses to VM hosts, VM or server
The new SQL licensing tab would even make it possible to detect unlicensed instances depending on listed availability or improper VM host movement rules.

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.
