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.

Add support for Contained Availability Groups (CAG) in SQL Server 2022

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…

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 -
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.
9 votesA great suggestion. We are exploring this as part of a wider review into improving query tuning features.

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.

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.

Only Query Serverless Azure SQL Databases if they are Online and not Paused
As mentioned in the below post, SQL Monitor will keep serverless Azure SQL databases from pausing and saving us the money they are supposed to. I would like the Azure SQL monitoring piece to be rewritten to use the Azure API to determine both if the Azure SQL DB is serverless or not and if it is AND paused, don't run any queries that would wake it. Yet if it is NOT paused, get info about it and update SQL Monitor.

Add database changes details based on the zoom range
In the "Databases" section when selecting one, we would like to have a list of the database changes that happened based on the "zoom range" period.
Right now I'm thinking based on the SQL Server error log
Example:
1 - Database Status changed. Online/Offline/Read-Only/Read-Write/etc
2 - Compatibility Level changed - This will be great to co-relate some situations with the CL change.
3 - Page Verify
EtcIn the end, any message that uses any of these texts:
SELECT * FROM sys.messages
WHERE text like '%Setting database%'This includes query store changes

Outlook calendar style view for SQL Agent jobs
This would be very useful for viewing all scheduled jobs in an Outlook-style calendar view. Also useful for scheduling new jobs to prevent conflicts.

Grant more granular report level access
I can grant report level access to a user by adding them to the Reports User role and I can restrict the servers which they see reports for.
However, this role gives the user more permissions than I would like to give - they can still view any other page - alerts, server overview etc
Can we change this so they can see the reports only?
