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 alias to rest api
The rest endpoint api/v1/monitored-entities should include the alias field. It would present as an empty string if the monitored entity does not have as an alias and filled in if an alias has assigned to the monitored object.

Alert suppresion window by specific date every month
We do our maintenance on scheduled windows on the 20th and 21st day of every month, including weekends.
Currently, it is not possible to set up such a recurring alert suppression window.
Can you add this to the Redgate Monitor alert suppression settings?3 votes -
Want to monitor SingleStore Databases
As part of our infrastructure, we utilize SingleStore databases, and we would greatly benefit from monitoring capabilities within your platform. Given its MySQL-based architecture, we believe incorporating SingleStore monitoring into RedGate’s suite would enhance visibility, optimize performance tracking, and streamline database operations.
We kindly request that you consider adding SingleStore database monitoring at the earliest opportunity.

In AzureSQL, I would like Redgate Monitor to not "keep awake" systems which are set to "sleep".
Within AzureSQL you can set SQL Servers to be Serverless and also to "sleep after" a time window. This means you can save money for systems which are not heavily used.
I think Redgate Monitor needs to have a "light touch" mode for such systems where it will firstly check the config and say "ok, this server is asleep, I dont need to look at it" before reporting maybe in the infomration status "system asleep". When the system wakes up, it should monitor as normal.
This is a cost saving exercise since, after adding Redgate to our Legacy AzureSQL servers,…7 votes -
Add ability to monitor mongodb hosted on Windows
Add the ability to monitor mongodb instances hosted on Windows - currently only Linux selfhosted mongodb instances are supported.
I suppose this will not be a very popular suggestion because most organisations are hosting mongo on Linux, but for the few that do - like us - it'd be very nice to have.
I would expect this one would be easy to implement as there already is a need to enter Windows credentials for monitoring when adding SQL Server hosted on Windows.

Report to identify alert overrides
We are using the alert categories "Host machine alerts", "Instance Alerts", "SQL Server alerts", and "Availability Group alerts" for our SQL Server environment. We have defined general thresholds for the alerts w/in each category. We then have situations where we override the alerts for a monitored object in an alert subgroup or the monitored object itself because the general alert threshold(s) don't make sense for the sub group or the object. It would be very useful to have a report which shows where we have performed these alert overrides. A report showing where an alert is overriden or a report…

Alert "regarding "instance alerts" - Cluster failover - for Postgres"
for Alert "regarding "instance alerts" - Cluster failover - for Postgres", would like to have it available on the individual server level and not just the monitoring group. That way we can customize our notification accordingly.

Additional column for each statement with the total duration including the wait time
On the history dashboard, I would like to have an additional column in the top queries area in which the duration including the duration of the wait events is displayed for each statement.
So far I have assumed that these are already included in the existing duration column. In context with a service request, I understood that this is not the case.
At first glance, I need the actual total duration without manually adding the waits statement by statement.

Custom Metrics are specific to a base monitor without a way to copy them
I have to create all custom metrics and alerts 3 times, once in each base monitor. And there is no way in the UI to copy from one to another.
I guess this makes sense because each base monitor only knows about the groups and targets it has. But it would be a great enhancement if the UI supported copying the custom metrics from one base monitor to another.

be able to add individual machines instead of an entire cluster
Right now when adding a node to Redgate Monitor and if it's part of a cluster, the entire cluster is added (even when switching off the auto-discovery of the clustername as this is only applied to the name itself).
Especially with large cluster estates, it's not possible to add a single node instead of the entire cluster.
This has impact on licenses, as the entire cluster needs to be licensed instead of each individual node that you actually want monitoring for.12 votes -
Allow changing first day of week
I would be nice to be able to configure the first day of the week as Monday, instead of Sundays. This is the most common definition of weeks in Europe. Other parts of the world have different perspectives, so any day should the selectable.
This is visible in all dropdowns where a date can be selected.1 vote -

Create an alert that triggers when receiving only partial telemetry from a server
I have a situation where Redgate Monitor is sometimes not receiving telemetry from the server OS. This occurred sporadically for several weeks until I had to open the server's detailed information, where I discovered the missing telemetry. The monitor triggered no alerts during those weeks despite it being caused by crashing windows services.
I've attached a screenshot that shows the missing telemetry for CPU and memory, caused by the perfmon service timing out and crashing.
After opening a ticket I was informed that there are no alert conditions in the monitor to detect this situation. This seems like a crucial…

identify blocking sql no longer executing, but didnt commit transaction
I want to be able to see the blocking statemement of a session that is done executing a statment, but did not commit the transaction. It seems that the "blocking Statment" is missing in the blockchain, if the statement causing the block is no longer executing. This leads me to think that your currently pulling the sqlhandle of the blocking session, whereas the more , or at least sometimes more appropiate think to do is to pull the "mostrecentsqlhandle" from sqltext. please consider.

new altert for service state of PowerBI Reporting Services PBIRS like "SQL Server Reporting Service status (2017+)"
In addition to SQL Server Reporting Services SSRS, we have more and more PowerBI Reporting Services PBIRS.
For SSRS since 2017 there is a separate alarm "SQL Server Reporting Service status (2017+)" in Redgate.
This tells us when an SSRS is no longer running. This also works.However, as far as I can tell, this alert does not cover PBIRS.
Recently, customers increasingly want PBIRS instead of SSRS and unfortunately we do not currently see the status of the PBIRS service in Redgate and do not receive an alert if this service is not running.We know that PBIRS and…

Server & instance stats on main window
I'd like to be able to see at a glance the basic details of my instance and the server on which it is running.
I would love if I could see the following on the main screen:

"Whats new" should link to the relevant release notes under "New features" tab
It currently only shows up the the release currently running, not what is in the new release. I have to search the web site to find out whether there is anything in the release that I care about enough to upgrade.
