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.

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  2. Add exclusions to Job Failing alerts

    When a user deliberately stops a job while it's running, it fires a job failed alert. Add exclusion regex so we can add something like "The job was stopped prior to completion by User...." to ignore these.

  3. Just like you can configure multiple alert thresholds for: JOB DURATION UNUSUAL ALERT you should be able to do so for: JOB FAILING ALERT

    This would allow notifications for failed jobs to be sent to different functional recipient(s) (e.g. Dev vs. Support vs. Ops teams) based on key words and other criteria.

  4. Have choice to send email as plain text

    When I have it send email to my text service it's HTML, which obviously makes the text msg very large. Allow choice to send alerts via plain text.

  5. Enable extended events per server

    Currently, enabling the use of extended events is a global setting.

    It would be great if this could be enabled per server, to avoid well-documented issues (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2878139/fix-using-dbghelp-dll-version-4-0-5-error-is-logged-in-sql-server-2012) between extended events and older versions of SQL Server (namely SQL 2008 which is still in extended support until 2019)

  7. Exclude queries from top 10 queries

    I would like to be able to exclude specific queries from Top 10 Queries. We use SQLQueryNotificationService which means our top 10 queries based on duration are always showing these queries as they have a waitfor. I would like the ability to exclude items from the top 10 queries.

    Typical query I would like to able to exclude:
    WAITFOR(RECEIVE TOP (1) messagetypename, conversationhandle, cast(messagebody AS XML) as message_body from [SqlQueryNotificationService-07e6439b-8276-45aa-963f-bed011b3ef2f]), TIMEOUT @p2

  8. Notification Profiles

    It would be nice to have different notification profiles. For example, I'd like to have a notification profile for business hours vs. after hours.
    For business hours, I'd like to be notified when certain alerts happen, but during after hours, I would only like to know about if there is a system down issues.

    It would be nice to have some kind of alert escalation system like this. So if I want certain alerts to alert me only when the High threshold has been reached after hours, but any other alerts during business hours.

  9. SQL Monitor currently does not have customization on scheduling for custom metrics

    SQL Monitor currently does not have customization on scheduling for custom metrics- only per min\5 min\hour basis.
    the option to setup your own schedule could be given to users and setup your own frequency or metric collection.

  10. Long Running Query Duration for Specific Queries

    It would be really useful is this feature came into Live!

    We have a number of queries that run on our SQL servers. We are aware these normally run for a long period of time (5-10 minutes) and do not want to exclude these from being alerted to us. Rather than changing the Long Running Query threshold for all the queries within the server we would like to be able to do it for these specific queries that take that little bit longer than others.

  11. scroll through the overview graph and zoom in/out

    It would be a lot easier if we could scroll through the overview graph and zoom in/out. For instance, on Monday morning I need to inspect a long (2 to 3 day) ETL job with 4 main parts. Currently I have to select the last timestamp I like to see in the graph and then select "Last 2 days". Then I can drag the sliders to highlight the area I want to investigate.

    It would be easier to click the graph and drag it left/right and use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out

  12. I would like to be able to export/import all of my custom metrics that i have configured in my SQL Monitor. Is this at all possible?

    We are migrating our SQL Monitor to a new server and i would like to avoid having to manually recreate all the custom metrics we have configured. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

  13. Search SQL Monitor Long Running Query Alerts By User Running Query

    It would be very useful to search the Long Running Query alerts for a user? The alert text that is displayed in the GUI and in the alert emails list the user running the query. I have Monitor set up to only send the alert emails for my HIGH category. But, when I want to do analysis or documentation, I would love to find all of the alerts Low, Med or High, that are attributed to a specific user or a group of users. Is that possible? To filter the list in the UI to only show alerts from a…

  14. The ability to exclude nodes in a cluster I don't want to monitor.

    When a cluster spans regions I want to be able to only monitor my "active" region and note my "passive/DR" region.

    If my primary region fails I would like to switch over my licenses to the other region in SQL Monitor so that I retain my license count.

  15. Alerts to be automatically marked as cleared after 'X' days

    Have an option so alerts can be automatically marked as cleared after a variable amount of days.
    This would prevent us from manually clearing them down.

  16. Improve alert troubleshooting by showing sql server error log

    When viewing an alert it may be helpful to see the error log for the server for the surrounding time. RAISERROR can log to the error log, so this info could be useful to see.

    Looking at the information recorded for top 10 queries I cant see a recorded date as to when query ran. Is it recoded somewhere if so how can i see it . If it is not why not. trying to track down who ran a query is very hard without a timestamp or username as to who ran it

  18. Customize the Alert page Columns

    Due to the lack of any useful actual time-zone date-time presentation in the UI (I still have issues because of the SEVEN I have to deal with), kindly allow us to add columns to the Alerts page.

    Specifically, I MUST HAVE the Group designation. This is the way I group by time-zone. When looking down the All Servers list, because there are always alerts across all the zones, having the "time-zone" right before the "Object" makes handling the busy list much easier than having to wait for each node's page to render, especially as the Alert Page performance has been…

  19. Show Job Description in Job Alerts
