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.

Do not uncheck alarms after entering a comment
Scenario: Let's say there are 15 related alarms in the alarm inbox on which you want to add a common comment and then clear.
Currently you would check the 15 alarms, click on the comment button and enter your comment. Unfortunately at that point it would uncheck all the selected alarms and you would need to check them again to clear them.
After entering a comment I would like the current selection to stay checked.

Change Overviews to Overview
The "Overviews" menu item is grammatically incorrect. The menu item should be spelled "Overview". "Overviews" is most commonly used as a verb. The plural noun form is relatively uncommon and would refer to a general review or summary of multiple, distinct subject areas.

Backup overdue alert - RegEx filter
I have many non-production databases on production SQL Instance, that make no sense to backup. I know I can turn this alert off one by one on each database. RegEx filter by database name would be help.

"Index searches/sec"
Why in SQL Server metrics there is no “Index searches/sec”.
In your description for “Full scan/sec”, you mention “The ratio of Index searches/sec to Full scans/sec should generally be no more than 1000:1.”.
It would be very useful to have this counter without having to go through performance monitor under windows8 votes -

Indicator that an active backup is ongoing on card
Have some kind of indicator an active backup/restore header is ongoing, card or icon pulsating, shaded etc. This is handy to see at a glance if too many backups are going at once.

I would like to do some custom filters of 'Alerts raised or updated in the last:'.
I would like to do some custom filters of 'Alerts raised or updated in the last:'. AND also be able to do range filters for them eg 2am to 6pm.

update alerts
When you go into an alert, would it be possible to have a button that can fire off and get the current value as it is now. For example, the attached was raised but may not get picked up for whatever reason until the Monday, if I could refresh the values that would be great as an index main task may have happened between the alert and when I get to it. Hope that makes sense?

show client host name for queries in top SQL
In the TOP SQL, I see login and program name, but not client host name. It would be helpful to see the client host name, too.

Utilize SQL (or SQL-like) statements in filters.
Utilize SQL (or SQL-like) statements in the filters, specifically on the Overview tab to filter on server name. For example: '%sql%' AND '%prod%'
Currently you can only do 1 fuzzy logic search. Also, you cannot search just by one character.24 votes -
Customize Estate Version Thresholds
On the estate tab, it would be nice to customize the thresholds that define the yellow and red state. For example, a server behind on one CU might be yellow, but others red.

Custom disk alerts in a cluster is lost when instance is moved to a new host
We often use customized disk alerts for larger disks i.e. instead of using the default alerts we might configure a High alert at 200 GB and a medium at 250 GB.
These custom alerts is not set on the instance level so when we move the instance to a new host the custom alerts will not follow the instance and the alert has to be set up again.
As our largest cluster is 9 node cluster with 23 instances and 3 disk each this cause us to configure these alerts at a maximum of 621 instead of 69 times. That…

See the last X weeks of User transactions/SQl statments ran on the server
Have a view in SQlMonitor that can be used to do a quick search on what querys a user has run on SQL Server over the last X weeks.
For our user case we would just need the data for the last two weeks but sure if storage allows user's would like to hold the data for longer.
This is to enable some auditing functionalty to quickly find what a user has ran for reporting.
e.g.
What did user1 run yesterday,
What was run and by who over the last hourThis could also help with finding performance issues. For…

Raise an Event Alert when a database is dropped
There is currently no alert when a database is dropped or detached from a server. SQL Monitor should create an Event alert to record when the drop happened. Obviously this might be intentional (e.g. the alert you have now that records a database is offline), but it might be accidental or unknown to the DB team (E.g. a vendor drops their database).
Because it will (hopefully) be an intentional action, and quite probably no plan to ever re-attach the database, the alert should be an event alert rather than a normal alert (the normal alert would never end)
A similar…
