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.

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…

Don't bloat plan cache No. 2
I have ~15k variations of this query in my plan cache, each with varying handles and a varying number of INSERTs.

Feasibility of selecting databases across the sql instances to create custom metrics
Imagine we are planning to create a new custom metric which we wish to use across several instances but one specific set of databases. its currently impossible and will be one to have.

Execution Time on Alert Dashboard.
In Alert Dashboard, Execution time helps to analyze long running query in priority,so it would help if execution time is displayed on Alert dashboard.

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.

Raise Free Space alerts on disks that are mounted, rather than simply drive letters/volumes
In our clustered environments, instances are given a small drive for mounting the larger data/log/etc volumes within them.
Whilst we always get a "disk full" warning on the mountpoint drives (subsequently disabled), there appears to be no ability to monitor the volumes that are mounted within, where we do care about free space.
I do see that metrics for IO, latency etc are done on a per volume (not drive letter) basis, so would be great if we could have consistency.12 votes -
Analysis Thresholds
One of the things I like about the free PAL tool, is that you can specify thresholds for each performance counter. Therefore, you can have a customizable red line which appears on your graph to easily tell you if your disk latencies are over 25ms or your free memory is less than 5% - for example.
I would like to see something similar on the Analysis screen on SQL Monitor. I would like to specify for each machine, SQL Server or Custom metric a warning threshold and a critical threshold. This makes it easier to troubleshoot performance issues as you…11 votes -
Add "not started within X minutes" delay before SQL Agent status alert raised
In an unpredictable maintenance window environment, as in, SQL Monitor's abilities in the window setting arena are inadequate, there are a reasonable number of times when SQL Agent is restarted with good reason.
As alerts are tied to pagerduty, it's a one size fits all Alert at present, which isn't helpful.
If a "delay emitting Alert for X time periods" could be added to this Alert, the short-duration bounces will go un-alerted, which really helps on call personnel to avoid unnecessary awakenings for "it is of no matter" Alerts.
In my case, there are 24 recorded incidents of this Alert,…

Sorting for columns in Host Machine Metrics

Add additional perfmon counters
It would be useful to have configurable perfmon counters available in "Analysis" above and beyond the out-of-the-box counters.

For SQL Server perf counters, you can create a Custom Metric against sys.dm_os_performance_counters. For Machine perf counters, you have to use CLI at the moment

Easily determine am/pm from the graphs.
Currently it isn't clear by looking at a graph if the times are AM or PM. It would be helpful if hovering included AM/PM as well as the left and rightmost times shown on the bottom of the graph. It is confusing and takes effort to determine if I"m looking at morning or night.

The "Output" area for Deadlock events should be resizable
When viewing a Deadlock event, you can go to the "Output" tab to get details on what T-SQL was running when the deadlock occured. However, that window is quite small, and is not resizable.

Overview screen show as a list
Show the overview screen as a list of servers. If you have a large number of servers to be monitored, there is no way to see all of them at once (other than zooming out of the screen). It defeats the purpose of monitoring if you can't see everything.
