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.

be be able to send alerts to multiple Slack channels
At present I can only use one Slack channel for SQL Monitor. I'd like to be able to specify a channel per alert - for example I have a custom alert and it would be good to be able to send a message to a designated Slack channel

SQL Server Agent : Check the status of Agent XPs Server Configuration Option
Subject : SQL Server agent
Context : At this time, SQL monitor only check the status of the windows service to monitor the SQL Server agent.
but do not check Agent XPs Server Configuration Option.As a result, you could have a started agent, not able to launch any jobs and sql monitor will not raise an alert.
Solution :
- add a check of the column valueinuse in the sys.configurations table to ensure that Agent XPs is enabled when the agent service is started.
SELECT * FROM sys.configurations WHERE name LIKE 'Agent XPs'

Dark Theme!
Would love to be able to have a Dark theme for the UI.
We use a number of other tools where this is an option and really appreciate the saving of the eyes from the sea of white/ other bright colours.

Include Drive Name on disk related graphs
A while back per "Disk Names in Overviews and Analysis" the disk/drive names were included some areas but it would be helpful to be consistent and have them included in all disk/drive related graphs.

alert layout
I'd like to suggest a revamp in the layout of alerts on Details tab.
This is so you can see at a glance what execution is causing the alert without having to scroll too much.
When reviewing alerts on a computer screen, there's a lot of white space (dead space) to the right of the Connection information. I'd like to suggest that in the unused space, you move the SQL Process Fragment information to the right of the Connection information.
If the window size of the browser is too narrow, it could slide back below the server information. (Responsive)

Data disk space usage percentage in Reports
There is a tile in the Report section called "Log Space Used %". Having a tile for mdf files, ie "Data Disk Space Used %", would be very handy in setting initial sizes in the first instance and would also give you a heads up in setting file sizes appropriately going forward.
All this would then be sent via email on a daily basis to monitor both log and disk sizes - so that unexpected file growth is one less thing for a DBA to worry about.
I understand there is something similar in the Estate section, but this has…1 vote -

Add the ability to add some basic text notes for each instance that can be viewed in the estate view. Want to keep some basic notes such as purpose of instance, application server dependencies, etc. Currently use external document to keep track of these.

see if a query plan is taken from a plan guide
When displaying the query plan through the "View query plan" button under query details it would be great to have an indication if this query plan was a result of a plan guide.

export metrics data to csv (or table) with configurable granularity and option to get cumulative data
The analysis page allows exporting data to csv for a certain metric, e.g., a database counter, but we cannot control the granularity nor whether data for all databases should be cumulative or not.
I would like to get data with the granularity produced by the 15 minute time range, i.e. seconds, but for a larger date range and preferably cumulative for all databases or a set of databases.

Activity monitor is showing "Blocked By" sessions that are not showing up in SQL Monitor
Is there an issue with the blocking information in SQL Monitor or are there certain types of blocks that are excluded? We are seeing blocks displayed in the SSMS Activity Monitor that are not being displayed on the SQL Monitor Overview page for Blocked Processes.

Display total memory for memory graphs on summary screens
The memory graph on the summary screen does not always show the total memory on the screen. It shows what is being used, but I have no idea how much is free.
I have attached a file showing one one of my servers that has 128GB of total memory. However, the graph only shows 75GB and it makes it look like most of the memory is consumed.

Auto hide Menu and Filter bar
When in TV/Overview mode (dashboard), It would be nice to get the full real estate on the TV/Monitor to show as many server tiles as posible, hence auto hiding the top menu and filter bar. with a dropdown button (show button) on the top right side of the server tile area. (shown in the image associated).

Assign user to an event
It would be helpful if we could assign a User to an event, just like comments, so when you login, you could switch to a view that holds assigned events that someone wants you to look at.

Allow users to specify the time period in minutes for the top 10 expensive queries
I would like to specify that exact minutes on the slider for Top Queries. Currently you can only do a 15-minute change. But I would like to be able to do that down to a minute range. Sometimes we make a change and I don't want to wait 15 minutes to filter out the previous queries.
