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.

Delay "Performance Data" Load for MOST Alerts
For at least 99% of Alerts of Interest over the last 6 YEARS of using SQL Monitor, the lower pane's "Performance Data" is of nigh on zero use.
IF it might be of use, give us a "Load..." button next to that heading, and load it on demand.
When I'm ploughing through a hundred or so predominantly Blocking Process and Deadlock alerts, the most important information is in the Details and Processes tabs.
Page loading delays will decrease because you won't have to pull eye-candy charts that aren't read for the bulk of the time.
The "Delay..." option, for me,…

Long running query alerts and daylight saving time changes
many long running query alerts generated between 1 am and 2 am on Sunday 11/5, as the time change caused it to add an hour when calculating all the query times. Can the alert be adjusted to account for the time change?

Include Custom SQL Code in alerts
When creating custom alerts, I would like to be able to include information that can be retrieved by running a SQL query.
One example is using the pre-built Failed SQL login custom alert that is available to setup. The alert notifies when this event occurs, but it fails to include information like which login failed, etc.
It would be nice to be able to build part of the e-mail body in the alert to include some critical data that can be queries using T-SQL.

check if there are any service packs or updates for my SQL Server instances
check if there are any service packs or updates for my SQL Server instances. This could then raise an alert to prompt me to investigate these updates.

deadlock frame procname text missing final character
The SQL displayed under the frame procname for a deadlock is missing the final character of the SQL.

enhance Title on Analysis Graph Page with "machine metrics"; "machine name"; (all)
Simply add to existing title with the selection of dropdown boxes as "machine metrics"; "machine name"; (all).
So we don't need to scroll down or include the bottom boxes to know which machine and options are being displayed...

Allow nested groups on the Overview screen
I have a structure of groups where the first level is environment (Production, Test, Development, etc) but then I have component as a second level (ETL, Application, Data QA, Sandbox). On the Overview screen, only the first level of the grouping is used, and therefore I have servers under 'Production' all bundled together and ordered by name across all the secondary groups. Would be good if the overview screen could show multiple groups somehow ... I understand there might be servers under the first level and the second level, and it might be weird for some customers ... but for…

Provide Mobile version of Alert Monitoring Screen
It may be just me (since no one sle has yet to suggest this) but a mobile friendly version of SQL Monitor for the ALERTS tab would be of great benefit. Currently I check the ALERTS on my SMART PHONE which has a screen waaaayyyy to small to do this but since I have no tablet option I have no other choice.
A mobile option at login to SQL Monitor would let those with smaller sized computing devices acccess the ALERTS tab so as to monitor/check in on their SQL Monitor instance remotely.
Thanks
16 votesThere are currently no plans for a SQL Monitor mobile app. We hope to improve the experience when using SQL Monitor on a mobile device. However at the moment we can’t give a timescale for when this might happen.

Show sample aggregation values on Analysis graph
As you zoom out of a graph on the Analysis tab, the peaks and troughs become less obvious (I fully understand that and agree), but it would be beneficial to know roughly the level of detail at which the values have been calculated to show on the graph.
So for example at the most detailed level (say at Last 1hr) CPU usage is sampled every 15 seconds, zoom out to Last 6hr, and the points seem to be every 1 minute - so are 1 minute averages.If I come all the way out to a custom 60 day view,…

Show current data sizes on purging page
On the data purging page would it be possible to show for each of the data categories how much space each one is currently occupying.
Possibly even an 'oldest date' too? As this may be pertinent if the purge thresholds haven't yet been met.
On some environments I want to keep as much SQL Monitor data as possible and if it's a healthy server you may have very little alert data, and so want to keep more history than you do say, machine data.
It would also help in cases where the Repository database is growing, and you're not sure…

Save DMV Snapshots for Analyzing and monitoring changes
Idea is to save snapshots of DMV's so that the changes can be analyzed. For example sys.dmexecprocedure_stats shows only total, last and average elapsed time. It will be great to know how the average changed over a period of time.
Common use case: sysproperties
