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.

update MS teams channel alerting to send alerts to various channels and not just a single channel
Much like when using SMTP alerts, can you add the ability to specify an alternative channel for alerts sent from a specific server or group of servers.
for example, if I have 2 groups of severs,
- producion alerts to channel 1
- non-productions server alerts to channel 2the core issue is we have multiple "products" monitored (production and non-production) and
we don't want the noise from the first product to be visible to the second, or third products.Currenly we use email groups for this but with changes in O365 we are under pressure to stop using SMTP.

Preserve license after the upgrade
During an in-place upgrade of Redgate Monitor, the license is lost. This poses a significant challenge for offline environments where internet access is restricted. As a result, Redgate Monitor ceases monitoring after the upgrade until a new permit file is generated and uploaded, leading to gaps in monitoring history.
This issue could be mitigated if Redgate allowed a short grace period of trial or honored the previous license during the transition.6 votes -
service now event creation
ServiceNow integration current creates incidents directly in ServiceNow. Due to corporate standards we aren't allowed to directly create incidents. All monitoring integrations to ServiceNow have to create "events", which are then mappen within ServiceNow to incidents (where applicable).
Please consider adding an option to create events instead of incidents.1 vote -

Select multiple groups for "latest alerts" sidebar
It would be great if we could select multiple groups in the latest alerts. For example, PostgreSQL Prod and PostgreSQL Dev/Test.
Background: We work in several subteams, such as Postgres and MSSQL. I would like to see only the latest alerts for PostgreSQL Prod and Test, and not for the other groups.And I don't want to switch the groups from PG Prod to PG dev.

Monitor MySQL Database Instance on Windows Server hosts
https://sqlmonitor.uservoice.com/forums/91743-suggestions?query=Monitor%20MySQL%20Databases%20on%20Windows%20Server%20hostsCouldn't see it anywhere but Monitoring MySQL\MariaDB Database on a Windows Server Host is something is in development or on your roadmap?
I work in the Social Housing sector (Not for Profit) and just about every other housing association we collaborate with use applications running off a MySQL back end - hosted on a windows server.
These database back ends (along with the application) are primarily supported by ISV vendor - but they actively encourage us to monitor the database. We already have already invested in Redgate monitor for our our On Prem SQL server hosts and it would be…

Schema name in the Indexes tab and Top procedures tab on the overview page
In SQL server it is possible to have indexes with the same name on different tables. It is also possible to have tables with the same name on different schemas. Therefore, you can have indexes with the same names on tables with the same names on different schemas. The same is true for stored procedures.
Since there is no data on the index and stored procedure's schema in the Indexes tab and Top procedures tab on the overview page, one does not know which exact SP or index is in the table.

Link to alert within Teams notification
I would like to see a direct link to redgate monitor alert within the teams notification. At the moment I have to search for the alert in the WebUI manually instead of clicking a direct link like it is in a mail notification with "View full alert details" button.

We learned from this old request that network utilization is monitoring in full duplex, therefore the maximum utilization is 200% instead of
We learned from a support ticket (and experience) that network utilization is monitoring in full duplex, therefore the maximum utilization is 200% instead of 100%. Unfortunately, I'm unable to modify our monitoring configuration to have thresholds above 100%. In a perfect world, network utilization would be split into two alerts, one for send and one for receive, this way we could manage the utilization limits separately. But if the perfect solution is not possible, then we'd at least like to be able to enter thresholds above 100% so we can alert at 150% utilization (for example).

Re-Check an alert
It would be helpful to have a "ReCheck Monitor" button for all of our alerts in Monitor. We have some checks that are only performed once per day. When those checks create alerts, we make quick work of resolution, but the alert doesn't clear for a long time (next day). It would be very helpful to have a button to force an immediate re-check. This would validate the fix and get us back to an all-green status quickly.

Improved Notification Methodology
It would be much to our advantage if notifications were their own object that could be tied to an object and inherited. This would allow us to tie the same notification to multiple alarms and make changes to all associated objects at once. Separating the notification from the alert would allow us flexibility with much simpler notification management. This feature would also allow us to look at things backwards to determine which alerts are tied to a given notification target.
Additionally, with a separate notifcation object we would gain the ability to have a different notifcation tied to Critical alerts…

be able to extract all alerts at once rather than extracting for individual alerts via API
Redgate Monitor API currently allows users to extract alert details for individual alert types. We need an API endpoint that can extract alert details for all alert types instead of calling the API multiple times.

Pass tags through the webhook json
I would like something like {{Target-tag}} to pass through the webhook, this will allow us to better spilt the alerts to the correct team on the other side so that 1 team isn't having to get all the alerts, but using other integrations and wrokflows with something like a tag we can spilt the alerts to different teams based on target and severity, but also with shared servers the tags will allow us to spilt those alerts as well.

Include SQL comments in Top Queries search
I use Entity Framework Core to interact with a SQL Server database, which comes with the ability to "tag" queries with extra searchable information for troubleshooting purposes.
This extra information is in the form of SQL comments, like so:
-- SPARK: PartyRepository.PartySearch
It would be very valuable to be able to search for this data, but unfortunately it appears that comments are excluded from Top Queries search, even though the data is there in SQL Monitor query data.

OpenID Connect client certificate or LDAPS
My company does not support OpenID "only client secret" and requests that Redgate Monitor use Client Certificate when authenticating users with Entra. Can you implement Client Certificate Support? Alternatively, how about to expand LDAP implementation to utilize SSL?

Show Estate Groups in the "For" Dropdowns in Reports
In the Reports section, there is a "For" dropdown that allows you to select specific instances or "Everything". It would be helpful to be able to select a Groups of instances on the report or individual tiles within the report. These groups are setup in Configuration > Estate > Groups.
For example, you could group your servers into Production/Staging/Dev, then you'd be able to setup a report that only shows Production metrics/issues.

Custom Queries in Reports or Provide Queries to make own Reports
I'd like to be able to either paste in my own queries to build a report from (a la PowerBI) or, better yet, be able to access some of the code for your existing queries so I can make custom reports in PowerBI. (For instance, the Longest Running Queries summary tile is extremely limited at the moment, if I had the code I could quickly make it in PowerBI and make it do what I wanted.
I understand its Red-Gate code and therefore you'd want to keep it to yourselves, but it would deeply expand the reporting features and make…4 votes
