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.

Exclude a database, instance or the entire alert based on an actual alert
It would be a nice feature to be able to click on an alert and get the option to exclude future alerts:
1 - for this specific database
2 - for this specific instance
3 - for this specific alert3 votes -

"Index searches/sec"
Why in SQL Server metrics there is no “Index searches/sec”.
In your description for “Full scan/sec”, you mention “The ratio of Index searches/sec to Full scans/sec should generally be no more than 1000:1.”.
It would be very useful to have this counter without having to go through performance monitor under windows7 votes -
be able to move database to another server
Sometimes I need move database to another server. I did it last time and I lost access to historical data. Moving databases is very common practice.
I think it is a big disadvantage.3 votes -
Add waits, CPU, & IO to the "sort by" options on the Global Dashboard.
Currently there are only two choices to sort by for the Global Dashboard screen:
Name & Severity
It would be nice to add more options, as they are displayed in the tile view. The options of course would be waits, CPU, & IO.

Raise an Event Alert when a database is dropped
There is currently no alert when a database is dropped or detached from a server. SQL Monitor should create an Event alert to record when the drop happened. Obviously this might be intentional (e.g. the alert you have now that records a database is offline), but it might be accidental or unknown to the DB team (E.g. a vendor drops their database).
Because it will (hopefully) be an intentional action, and quite probably no plan to ever re-attach the database, the alert should be an event alert rather than a normal alert (the normal alert would never end)

Sort top queries by logical reads, or cpu usage.
Same idea that is already being done with duration. These are the 3 aggregates most commonly used. Being able to sort by avg vs total would be ideal. Performance Reports in SSMS can do this, so that idea.

Only Alert Database File Usage on one copy of a database in Availability Group
When monitoring all instances of an Availability Group, the Database File Usage alerts on every instance. This just adds extra noise. It would be great if instead of alerting on each copy it just alerted once on the availability group somehow.

Limited Estate functionality for unlicensed server
I would like to have very very basic estate functionality for servers without a Monitor license (I'm thinking Express instances on developer's station, sandbox instance without any real databases, etc.).
It would only be to keep visibility on them, so that we don't need to keep an inventory in a separate source. If the edition and version could be included that would be even better but of course nothing about disk usage / backups / jobs, etc.
I realize that this is essentially asking for something for free but I would venture that keeping visibility on all instances might lead…

Integrate with Policy Based Management
It would be really good to integrate with Policy Based Management to raise status alerts in SQL Monitor, that way we could breakout more complex Instance status

exclude databases from alerts with a named pattern
Some of our databases are named "XXX_Database", the "XXX" indicating that it should not be monitored. It would be nice to exclude those from alerts based on a given naming pattern.

Error Log Section - Under the instance screen add a search function similar to Databases section where we can search for keywords like fail
Error Log Section - Under the instance screen add a search function similar to Databases section where we can search for keywords like failed logins. This will speed up the process to look for something specific rather than moving through pages looking for that one error.
