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.

Possible AI usage for Alerts in Red Gate Monitor
The alert system for Red Gate Monitor could be improved with some more intelligence. For example Full backup jobs and differential backups, weekly full, daily differential. Of course the differential will take a lot more time just before the full backup in comparison with the differential backup just after the full backup. If Monitor could "learn" the environment and only give alerts when things are really off then this would be much better.

see a greater time range in the Overview
Often customers would like to see a broader overview, eg a whole week or a classic working week (Mon-Fri). It would be great if we can extend the overview to 5 or even 7 days.

Support Monitor Ubuntu with another port ( not port default 22)
Dear Development Team,
Currently, I'm using SQL Server running on Ubuntu ( with SSH port 5678). I can't connect to OS Linux via SSH port 5678. I don't see where to input the port (not the default port). I want the Team to enhance the feature allow to the input SSH port.I have created an issue to discuss here (https://productsupport.red-gate.com/hc/en-us/requests/305026)
Thanks,

Grant user access down to SQL instance or database level
Currently the lowest level we can grant users access to cluster level. In multi-instance clusters this gives too much. Need to scope user access to instance and database level.

Datawarehouse Database for older data
There should be an option to transfer older data to a datawarehouse database and still seamless be accessible from the Red Gate Monitor tool. This way the primary database can be small and quick in normal day to day use.

Index Analysis -- Index Object Filtering
Index Object Filtering -- Ability to Exclude Objects.
It would be nice to be able to exclude the RedGate indexes, or exclude specific databases, or other specific objects. Currently, filtering is more inclusion based but frequently exclusion is easier.

Job failing Alert option for number of consecutive failures in a row
I have some SQL Agent jobs that run every 2 minutes and legitimately fail occasionally to circumstances outside our control.
I need to be alerted if the job is constantly failing, e.g. failed 5 times in a row, but I do not care about one off failures.Having a customisable option for individual jobs to alert only after X consecutive failures would be fantastic.

Show query history for custom date range in "Top Queries" view
In the top queries window, the history can only be searched via three date ranges:
Zoom Range,
Window Range,
All historyIt would be good to be able to search a custom date range to make the graph easier to see for a time period of interest. Window range is only three days max and all time can be too broad.

Mask sensitive data from deadlock and top queries
We want to let developers use SQL Monitor, but for that sensitive data has to be masked. Two places that come in mind where we can things like literals in WHERE clause etc are deadlock and top queries. This would ideally be combined with a security group which which the masking should apply.

Clear RedGate Alerts automatically
Once the alert is taken care of, RedGate should send an email saying that the alert is cleared. Also, there is no need of a clear button in the web interface, it should be done automatically.

Only Query Serverless Azure SQL Databases if they are Online and not Paused
As mentioned in the below post, SQL Monitor will keep serverless Azure SQL databases from pausing and saving us the money they are supposed to. I would like the Azure SQL monitoring piece to be rewritten to use the Azure API to determine both if the Azure SQL DB is serverless or not and if it is AND paused, don't run any queries that would wake it. Yet if it is NOT paused, get info about it and update SQL Monitor.

Longest queries which are running on each server.
Right now we are getting only 4 queries. Also, if we check Database, these are only the system databases, Actual databases are not considered here.
Our requirement is to get the Longest queries which are running on each server. After getting these details performance optimisation team is going to check those queries and try to optimise them. Can we get these details?1 vote -
Ability to add notes to tracked queries
When working in an environment with multiple people is typical that each person is tracking different queries to analyse ongoing changes/improvements.
Being able to note something as "Tracked by Cláudio. Following FIX #1234" would be great.
It will give us a clue on who is working on what and reach out to that person. Or just keep small notes during the analyses.
15 votesA great suggestion. We are exploring this as part of a wider review into improving query tuning features.
