Suggestions
Welcome to the Redgate SQL Monitor feature suggestions list. Tell us how we can improve SQL Monitor by voting on these suggestions or by submitting your own ideas.
This is the easiest way to make an impact on SQL 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 SQL Monitor forum.

In the email alert for custom notifications I would like to execute an ad-hoc query that shows me the results.
This will allow me to write a custom metric alert and see the results of the alert inside the email alert. Example where I monitor one log file with various items the custom alert message can give me context on what errors are written to the log inside of the email

see the meaning of the alert in the email alert going out as it shows in the description on the dashboard inside the dashboard
This will provide more context at what the alert means without going into the dashboard (web) page.

Expand lower section of overview window
I would like the ability to expand the sections in the lower portion of the overview window or break them out into separate windows. For example, when viewing the Top 10 Queries or Waits it is very difficult because there is not enough room. Also because the individual tabs scroll separately from the main window, scrolling is a pain. The top graph section shrinks, but it still takes up too much screen area. Being able to break out in individual sections or expand them to fill the screen would be very helpful.
See attached screenshot for an example.

remember
Remember time period in overview of an instance or change the default from 24 hours. I tend to look at the overview of an instance using the last 6 hours however every time I click down in the overview I have to change from last 24 hours to last 6 hours, this is very frustrating. I would like to be able to remember my last setting or at least be able to change the default for me as a user.

In the Global Overview screen, have a filter selection for Still Active Alerts
Once an Alert has been cleared or ended I no longer want to see it on my Global Overview screen. When I am handling lots of servers and I see lots of RED on the alert side but they have either been cleared (checked) or ended I no longer want them showing up on the global screen unless I want them too to review. This causes lots of questions from management when they walk by and see lots of RED and the Alert was handled or no longer a concern.

Be able to see in the overviews panel how much RAM my monitored instances are consuming just like I can see CPU and Disk IO for example.
I want to monitor how much RAM my instances are consuming while I'm in the overviews panel and even though I can go to a specific panel for checking this specific counter it'd be useful to havr it in the single overviews panel and not moving back and forth.

Add other Red Gate tools to SQL Monitor as licensed modules
It would be useful if the following tools were additional modules that could be added to the web interface to SQL Monitor;
SQL Backup Pro
Index ManagerFor example, upon receiving a no database/log backup alert it would be great to just click into another section of SQL Monitor to then diagnose/fix the issue rather than using an external application. Additionally the capability within Index Manager would sit well in SQL Monitor as a logical extension for the fragmented index alert.
This would allow SQL Monitor to be the primary place that a DBA would need to go in order…

non sql servers should not need a license
i think it would be very nice being able to have alerts for non sql servers without the need to allocate a license to those.

Add custom metrics to Overview(s)
Add the ability to choose what is displayed on the overview for a given server/instance - especially with the addition of custom metrics.
Even better would be to allow the addition of multiple overviews (aka Dashboards) and configure what each one displays.

Have all cookies from the application marked as secure and HttpOnly

Allow configuration of Fragmentation Alerts down to Table for EXCLUSIONS
The Fragmentation Alert for a database only permits on/off and low/medium/high with page count configurations.
This is far, far too high a level to be useful.
The Alert needs, at the very least, INCLUSION and EXCLUSION capabilities by table within database. An overall fragmentation low/medium/high and pages would be OK to START WITH, but It would be great to be able to go to each index and state the fragmentation limits and even whether to monitor it.
In my case, I use Idera's excellent Defrag Manager, so when I see this alert, I check that Defrag Manager is doing its…

Apply regex rules to existing alerts
Filtering alerts with regex is great for new alerts but it would be better if we could confirm our new command work by running them on existing alerts. Either testing or just been able to the filter the events using custom regex expressions.
