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.


In Redgate Monitor, I want to...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. Configure Alert-Ended messages at alert type level

    in the global settings I can configure, that I want to receive deescalation mails when an alert ended (e.g. CPU went back to normal, Server available again ...).

    For many alerts this makes sense, but for other alerts not so much or not for everybody (e.g. deadlock alerts, the custom failed-logins alert, job-failed alerts...).

    So it would be nice, if I could configure this (as most other options) at least at alert type level or better down on group / server / database etc.

  2. Monitor Backups LSNs in Always On Availability Groups

    With Always on Availability Groups, Error is... Log backup for database "XXX" on a secondary replica failed because the last backup LSN from the primary database is greater than the current local redo LSN. And SQL Monitor cannot check for this. I would like to see if SQL monitor can catch it before the Azure Backup Vault fails to backup every 15 minutes.

  4. It would be nice to be able to exclude names of databases to be backed up instead of un clicking them one at a time .

    It would be nice to be able to exclude names of databases to be backed up instead of un clicking them one at a time .
    This should be similar to the long running queries where you have the option to exclude.

  5. Be able to customize alerts by job

    I would like to be able to customize alerts by job. For instance, I have many jobs that run multiple times per hour. If it fails once or twice, I don't want to be alerted about it. However, if it fails 3+ times in a row, I want to be alerted.

  6. Include more details regarding a disk space usage/free report

    What I'm looking for is that for today, the D: drive is this filesize, e.g. 500gb. Once the report runs again the following week, it is 505 gb and so on. Then it would summarize that there is a differential of 5 gb which is the growth.

  7. Overview - Drill-through ability on Splits/sec to the Queries causing it

    So we get to the "Analysis" page when clicking on a peak in the Page Splits/sec graph. But that tells me the same thing, in larger form, but not the root cause...

    It's the root cause of 20K/sec I'm after... So, please give us the CHOICE of drill-through, to the responsible queries grid, or some other place. It's only useful if the ACTUAL queries causing the splits are listed, not just a repetition of the top-10.

    Thanks.

  8. know who ran SQL Compare and what changed

    within SQL Monitor when it flags that SQL Compare ran, it would be good to be able to see who ran the job and what was changed. Currently the job is flagged in SQL Monitor but there seems to be no further details other than what database it ran on.

  9. Show current RPO

    Show current backup RPO and allow us to click the graph to see specific databases under each RPO grouping (>15 minutes, >30 minutes, etc).

  10. Cluster Roles that have been renamed should no longer have an entry with the old name

    Over the last year and a half I have migrated several SQL FCI's to new windows clusters, new hardware, windows and SQL versions. To accomplish this with minimal downtime I had to setup the cluster roles ahead of time with everything ready to go prior to doing a final tlog backup/restore and rename of the cluster instances. This has worked well for us however SQL Monitor creates a new server record when the instance is renamed and never gets rid of the original name of the the new instance. This has left me with SQL Monitor still showing this nonexistent…

  11. Limit the number of backup entries listed for Estate Backup details

    When viewing the backup details of a database in the Estate Backup view, the number of backups listed severly impact the usability. It seem to retrieve all backups done and stored in the SQL monitor DB or in msdb. As we have frequent log backups, this list is very long and heavy to retrieve and display.

  12. Find Queries / Stored Procs whose Performance has Decreased Over Time

    In preparation for changing the database compatibility level for our primary database to 2014, we would like to see which queries and stored procedures are performing poorly after the switch is made in the staging environment. While I can do this to a limited extent by looking at top queries in Red Gate Monitoring, I was wondering if there was an automated way to alert on this. For example, alert on any stored procedures / queries that appear in the top 100 costliest queries by duration / CPU usage, whose average duration / CPU usage has more than doubled since…

  13. Log Alert Action Activity

    Please store activity such as who clears alerts and when for the alert details.

    Also, it'd be nice to have an overall auditing of who changed what when on various other parts of the website.

  15. Add custom alerts with exiting out of the box metrics

    I would like to create custom alterts on existing out of the box metrics. I want to set an alert if for example PLE is going under a certein threshold. Without creating an additional custom metric.

  16. FORCE "Estate" refresh re Actual Disk Space

    Just freed-up 55GB on tempdb drive. F5 on the Estate page, Disk Usage tab, and SQM still says 11GB. Clearly WRONG!

    Give us the ability for FORCE a disk usage re-calc.

  17. Add "When File Grew" Drilldown to the new Estate page, Disk Usage

    The new Estate page is already proving useful, but today not as much as it could be...

    tempdb LOG suddenly grew to twice its normal size, and we have yet to trace why. It may have gone unnoticed but for SQM issuing a LOW DISK SPACE Alert!

    Please add a drilldown for DB files that show the times, and quantities, for growth. A sparkline chart would help, too, as a visual cue. for the last 30-days, perhaps.

    Thanks for continuously making SQM more useful.

  18. Customize Alerts on the Overviews Page

    Allow for the customization of the Alerts in the Alerts section on the Overviews Page.
    These customized alerts would be independent of the settings for the Alerts tab. That way Alerts would just be customized for the Overviews Page.

  19. Define limit of the specific job alert.

    problem : a job is running in every 2 mins and failed due to any reason .it will fire multiple alert ,I would like to restrict the limit of the specific failure
