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.

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.

We like that idea – if it gains traction, we’ll prioritise it more

Have all cookies from the application marked as secure and HttpOnly
In a internal review of web-applications our riscmanament suggests that all webapplications cookies must be marked being secure and HttpOnly.
Could that be possible?

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…

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,…
