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.

Allow custom DML script deployments to show on SQL Monitor (like SQL Compare)
Write now, when you deploy with SQL Compare it puts this wonderful little tick mark in SQL Monitor to show the deployment location and time. We would like the ability to do this with SQL Multi Script or even manually via manual deployments.

Filter out Long Running Query alerts based on wait type
We have a 3rd party product that has a SQL Database. It has something in it that loads data RBAR (Row-By-Agonising-Row). The query gets all the data in about 3 seconds and then sits waiting on ASYNCNETWORKIO for ages (close to 40 minutes).
We don't want to exclude the application from all long running query alerts, and the query is different everytime which would make it hard to filter based on regex (and not filter other queries we care about).
We'd like a way that we can not raise a long running query alert if it's waiting on…

date format
I'd like to have an ability to set date format according to the country where the monitored SQL server is in, e.g. USA where date format is MM/dd/yyyy vs UK as dd/MM/yyyy. Also, why not to read and set date format off of the monitored server? Please make it configurable and country compliant so to speak..
Thanks,

Group sql server instances at the instance level, not at the server/cluster level
I would like to control the group that an individual sql server instance is in, rather then having to group things at the server/cluster level. The group views and control over alerting is great, but in the event that the same cluster/server hosts a dev and production instance, or multiple instances that are managed by different members of a DBA team,the usefulness really suffers.

SQL Agents Job Display Time Windows that Jobs are executing
The SQL Agent Jobs screen is a great way to track all jobs across all monitored servers. I think it would be helpful to see the gaps of time that no job is running to help determine maintenance windows and also make sure that the jobs are properly spaced out.

Performance graphs on disk space alert page
When we get to the disk space alert details it shows -as with all alerts- a bunch of performance graphs like CPU utilization, disk queue length etc... I think the most relevant graph is missing for this particular case. It would be much more interesting to get a quick glance of the disk space growth over the last 24 hours or couple of dyas for example

Estate Backup Emailed Report
I really like the new backup feature in the estate section; however, I would love to have this emailed on a scheduled basis. If the email could have a graph like the first sheet and the spreadsheet attached, it would be great.

Wouldn't it be nice to have the option of saving a view of multiple counters under Analysis?

export the overview page
The reporting is very limited and provides less detail that the overview and estate pages. We need to be able to export the overview and estate pages easily. Also need to be able to report on the Top queries and top waits.

Allow for the conversion of time to to HH-MM-SEC in the Duration column on the Server Overview Page
Its difficult to always have to convert milliseconds, so it would be very handy if this conversion was an option to be included.

Include Drive Name on disk related graphs
A while back per "Disk Names in Overviews and Analysis" the disk/drive names were included some areas but it would be helpful to be consistent and have them included in all disk/drive related graphs.

alert layout
I'd like to suggest a revamp in the layout of alerts on Details tab.
This is so you can see at a glance what execution is causing the alert without having to scroll too much.
When reviewing alerts on a computer screen, there's a lot of white space (dead space) to the right of the Connection information. I'd like to suggest that in the unused space, you move the SQL Process Fragment information to the right of the Connection information.
If the window size of the browser is too narrow, it could slide back below the server information. (Responsive)

Data disk space usage percentage in Reports
There is a tile in the Report section called "Log Space Used %". Having a tile for mdf files, ie "Data Disk Space Used %", would be very handy in setting initial sizes in the first instance and would also give you a heads up in setting file sizes appropriately going forward.
All this would then be sent via email on a daily basis to monitor both log and disk sizes - so that unexpected file growth is one less thing for a DBA to worry about.
I understand there is something similar in the Estate section, but this has…1 vote -
Allow linking directly to a screen/alert, but down to the specific page area expanded.
Be able to share links with colleages directly to the section of the site you are trying to direct them to. For example, I want to share an alert page, but on that page, I want to direct them to the "Top Queries" tab, and even into a specific query expanded.

see my sizing per server (in Estate)
I would really like to have an extra column in Estate showing how much RAM and CPU are configured. Especially CPU information is important, because this determines how much licenses I need to maintain my Estate.
The extra column could be added between Versions and Status.

see if a query plan is taken from a plan guide
When displaying the query plan through the "View query plan" button under query details it would be great to have an indication if this query plan was a result of a plan guide.

Please add the icon for machine type (VM/Azure/Physical) on the main screen display.
Currently you have to click on the machine to display the icon to see if it is a VM or physical machine.

Monitor Hyper-V hosts
https://sqlmonitor.uservoice.com/forums/91743-suggestions/suggestions/2936441-identify-if-virtualization-hosts-are-congested is closed, so I'm opening a new suggestion - please add the ability to monitor Hyper-V hosts, similarly as we can currently monitor VMware hosts.
