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.

Total data file size/used metrics - add filegroup level
CONTEXT: We have some databases with multiple filegroups, I’d be useful to be able to drill down from the DB level to the FG level on the “Total data file size” and “Total data file used” metrics.
PROBLEM: Not being able to slice totals by FG is problematic, since different FGs often have different capacity / performance requirements, different space used speed/patterns etc.
EXAMPLE SOLUTION: For “Total data file size” and “Total data file used” add an additional selector window after the database selector: a list of filegroups + an (All) option at the top. So, the selectors would be:…

Customise Email Settings For Each Alert Setting
It would be great if you could have an override on each alert to allow for a customised email setting just for that alert.
Currently an alert can have a different email address BUT it only uses the default settings, if I wanted to fine tune for that alert I can't.
Thanks, Steve19 votes -
Retain user last selection and update current default time options to be more flexible
On the Overviews of an instance Server/Host Metrics the default selections are always the last 24 hours as well as having all 4 boxes ( CPU, Memory, Disk I/o and Waits) select.
I am constantly having to uncheck the Memory box and most individuals look at the last 6 hours or would prefer ( 1 or 3 hours) and have to change from the default last 24 hours to last 6 hours each time navigating to this page. I would like to be able to have SQL Monitor remember my last setting(s) or at least be able to change the…

Long Running Query Alert - Update Process Fragment Info for Agent Jobs with SSIS Packages
One of the most common alerts that we get is the Long Running Query alert. However, when the query is due to a package executing from an agent job, there is little to no information about what is running long. The attached image is an excerpt from one of the alerts we got this morning. We can tell it is from an executing job, because of the SSISDB database specified. But beyond that, we are left trying to figure out which job/package was the culprit by digging through execution logs and schedules, then trying to match execution lengths with where…

Dark Theme!
Would love to be able to have a Dark theme for the UI.
We use a number of other tools where this is an option and really appreciate the saving of the eyes from the sea of white/ other bright colours.

open alert link in new tab or window
When viewing an alert within the side-bar on the Overview page, clicking on the 'Go to the full details' arrow redirects the page to the intended alert. You have to then click back to see the overview page again.
It would be great for the ability to be able to open click through links on a new tab or window instead of the same window to prevent navigating away from the overview page.

Share alerts via Email
The ability to share alerts details via Email from the "Alert Details" page.
Sometimes we don't want to share a direct link to the monitor.
E.G
Click "share" which will open a mailto: with the relevant alert details.1 vote -

Exclude offline databases from backup alerts
Exclude all offline data bases from the overdue backup alert as we do not have a need to backup an offline data base. For us if a data base is taken offline it's most likely because its been migrated to another server or no longer needed and will eventually be deleted.

documentation
Add Server documentation such as:
- app owners,
- support type (24/7, next business day),
- escalation contacts (clients to contact for unscheduled maintenances),
- primary purpose (main application using the server, business function)
- Add costum fields for server notes or setup instructions

Add Single Sign-On (SSO).
We would love to have Single Sign-On added so we can use CAS for authentication. This feature would really help make things easier even more so then LDAP/NTLM even... I know I been on a support ticket for weeks to have a "work around" be the answer.

Offer SQL Monitor as a Saas model
Would be great to offer sql monitor on a Saas model. $50 per server per month for example.
Purchasing software upfront is expensive for small/medium companies. This also offers more flexibility to add and remove licenses in line with how companies add and remove new servers.9 votes -

Use base monitor service user account to authenticate with vcenter
When monitoring a vcenter deployment, it would be nice if the base monitor service could just delegate the credentials it is running as rather than entering them in the username and password boxes inside sql monitor.

Re-fire alert notification if alert stays active
My initial problem was that an alert that was still active was marked as cleared, but I wanted the alert to 're-appear' as essentially it hadn't been fixed.
This then led me to thinking about any alerts that can move from Active to Ended. It would be useful to configure these is such a way that if they stay Active for a given period, then they re-fire. I understand that is what the multiple thresholds can be used for (especially if the thresholds define time periods) but in this case I may already be at High, there is no further…
