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.

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. Environment specific Reports

    As we have option to create different reports on SQL Monitor, We would like to have the option to create the reports as per environment (Dev,UAT,Prod) for Disk Space,Server Downtime etc. It will be more feasible if we can get a filter to create reports for the specific environment.

  3. Database Tags

    It would be great if, in addition to Instance Tags, we could assign tags to individual Databases as well. This could help in various ways in trying to determine what the purpose is of the vast number of databases we need to monitor and manage.

  5. Superimpose the Disk I/O for VMWare Host on graph for Disk I/O

    I'd like to get the Disk I/O for the VMWare Host superimposed on the graph just as I get CPU and Memory, it is very helpful to see the load on the host together with the load on the actual VM.

  7. Save alert email addresses

    I monitor a large enterprise and forward hundreds of alerts using cut/paste. If recent addresses were retained, it would save a lot of time.

  9. View stats for queries across databases and / or servers

    Given that one has multiple similar databases, recieving the same queries, having same indexes and so forth. Currently one are able to view top-queries on server and database level, but what would be very valuable is to see the same information across databases on a server and across servers where one would then match the query on a content of the query itself. Then one could pinpoint globally what queries that has high io / cpu / ... even tough they on a individual db-level is not "high"

  10. Create smaller timeframes on the server overview page.

    Currently if you dive into the overview page of a certain server the default timeframe is 24 hours, you can narrow this into 12,6,3 and 1 hour.

    I would like to have the opportunity to narrow it down into minutes.like a custom time frame. This helps to do a more clean investigation.

  12. Testing the Availability Group listener(s)

    If an Availability Group listener is not working for any reason (like no DNS resolution), but the ressource is still up in the cluster, SQL Monitor will not raise any alert.

    Could you add a specific test for SQL monitor to test the connection using the availability group listener(s) and raise an alert if not successful?

  14. Exclude serverless databases from monitoring

    Need the ability to exclude serverless databases from scanning. The purpose of using serverless is to suspend when not in use, drastically reducing costs. Currently these databases are "kept awake" by SQL Monitor and never go to sleep. This is a deal-breaker for use on some of our servers...

  15. SQL Monitor to Authenticate Directly with Office 365, Exchange Online

    Hello, it would be great if SQL Monitor could authenticate directly with Office 365 rather than having to use an on-premises SMTP server. Exchange Online is probably the most widely used email service for business and the application is unable to successfully authenticate with it. Thanks.

  16. alert when database was created / dropped

    It would be nice to have a build in alert when someone (e.g. a vendor) created or dropped a database.

    Reasons:
    - you may want to delete old backup files (if dropped) or have to modify / delete some maintenances
    - you'll make a manual full backup of the new DB so that log-backups could be taken by your backup solution
    - maybe you have to add the new DB to monitoring (as DLM Dashboard), backups (and have to consinder its the disk space at the backup drive) or an Excel-Sheet with a list of your databases :-)

    Real-Live-Example:
    I…

  18. azure overview

    Azure SQL databases display differently than SQL server databases on the overview page, which makes them difficult to see. And even with the Azure SQL databases, there are further differences if the databases are members of elastic pools or not.

    Please change the Overview Page to either a) show them more consistently, since there's no other indication of what's different.
    or b) rearchitect the way Azure SQL DBs are displayed on the overview page so it's clear they are Azure SQL and that would also give you the ability to show them whatever way makes the most sense for the…

  19. "Take Screenshot" Feature in Analysis Section

    I have the need very often to take screenshots for non-technical management slideshows.

    Could you add a button in the analysis panel to take a screenshot of the analysis timeline?

    I would like to obtain something like this (with a single click)
