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 — often the SQL Monitor team will initially stay quiet about new suggestions to see what you have to say!
If you have any questions visit the Redgate Monitor forum.

Customize email alert recurrence to receive it more often
Have an option to change how often I want the email alerts to come. Let's say I want to track the alert for every, and I mean every, SQL job failure. Everytime a job fails, even when I intentionally fail it, I want to receive a mail.

Set a custom alert for a individual tracked query
We can track query's from the analysis page - good for when you want to see how a query changes over time. What would be even better would be to be able to set an alert on a tracked query on any metric but for example, the execution time so we can get an early alert if it is taking a long time to execute and it's business critical

Ability to filter "TOP Queries" by login
Often we want to filter queries not only per existing options (database, parent or query) but it's useful to be able to search for a specific login.
Could you allow searching by login using "l:" or "login:"?

Mask sensitive data from deadlock and top queries
We want to let developers use SQL Monitor, but for that sensitive data has to be masked. Two places that come in mind where we can things like literals in WHERE clause etc are deadlock and top queries. This would ideally be combined with a security group which which the masking should apply.

Add support for Contained Availability Groups (CAG) in SQL Server 2022
This is actually a feature that broke with the new version. There is no ability to monitor SQL Agent Jobs.3 votes -
Produce a long running queries report ordered by average execution time
I have been tasked with identifying queries with the longest average execution time so that they can be targeted for optimization. In the server overview this can be done in the top queries section, however this obviously only shows queries for that instance.
In the reporting tab I can create a report for long running queries, but it is based around total execution time. It would be useful if this could be ordered by average execution time.
A query that runs 100,000 times and takes 10ms will have a higher overall execution time than one that runs 50 times and…

Monitor Cluster Shared Volumes
Under the “Analysis” section, there are cluster metrics which include four different options relating to Cluster Shared Volume usage.
• Used Bytes
• Used %
• Free Bytes
• Free %If we click on the above, we can review our CSV’s to see whether we are approaching the drives maximum capacity.
What isn’t included is the performance of the disk. For instance, under the Machine metrics section, the following is available:-• Disk avg read time
• Disk avg write time
• Disk read bytes/sec
• Disk write bytes/sec
• Disk transfers/sec
• Avg disk queue length.However, these…

“Longest Running Queries” in Redgate SQL Monitor Reports
I need to show more “Longest Running Queries” in Redgate SQL Monitor Reports. The layout of the report is also a bit awkward, it seems if everything does not fit into the report.

Job Duration Unusual Alert should be 'AG aware' to avoid false positives
We are using an AG for one of our instances.
As you would expect we have the same SQLAgent jobs created on both instances in this AG, but we only want the job to execute on the primary.
In SQLAgent the jobs on both nodes of the AG have a step at the beginning which checks to see if this is the primary instance.
If it is the primary instance it will proceed to step 2 and execute the rest of the job.
If it is not the primary instance the job will terminate.
This all works fine - however…2 votes -

Add date to legend when filtering across multiple days
When we filter on the top graph across multiple days, on the legend below won't show the days, just the time.
The image is the current case.
What I would like is to have the days.
Instead of "from 08:18 to 08:19"
expected "from 18 Jun 08:18 to 19 Jun 08:19" or equivalent3 votes -
Being able to filter "TOP Queries" by any of the columns
On the "TOP Queries" grid we can order it by any of the columns (besides "Database").
I would like to be able to filter the rows by the amounts.
Example:
Filter queries where "Execution count > 100" same for other columns.
Then apply the "order by".This way we can filter together with the "Enter search term" box.

Ability to add notes to tracked queries
When working in an environment with multiple people is typical that each person is tracking different queries to analyse ongoing changes/improvements.
Being able to note something as "Tracked by Cláudio. Following FIX #1234" would be great.
It will give us a clue on who is working on what and reach out to that person. Or just keep small notes during the analyses.
6 votesA great suggestion. We are exploring this as part of a wider review into improving query tuning features.

Estate Licensing - Align with Microsoft HA/DR Licensing policy
Estate licensing appears to tally all licenses for servers in an WFC/HA config. 3 node cluster 4 cores, 12 licenses (when it should be 8). Please provide the process to identify an HA or DR node, which will allow the Redgate Estate portal to align with Microsoft SQL Licensing: https://download.microsoft.com/download/e/2/9/e29a9331-965d-4faa-bd2e-7c1db7cd8348/SQL_Server_2019_Licensing_guide.pdf.
