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.

Add ability to search Server Log
I would like the ability to search the error log or at least filter out some alerts. For example, we get about 45 "Log has been backed up" log entries every 15 minutes. It's very hard to actually find things on redgate without having to login to the SQL server and filter there.

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.

Slack notification in more detailed
Slack notifies the alert, would be great to view complete details in slack specific to notified. This helps giving access to development for a slack channel to look into Long Running Query corresponding to database. without giving full access

"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 windows8 votes -

Have more retention periods for the data retention settings.
Right now on the data retention settings screen, there is only a drop down with a static list of ranges to keep data. It would be useful if these could be more granular, like being able to set both the number and interval (month,day,year). At a minimum, it would be nice if there were options between 1 year and indefinitely.

Show query history for custom date range in "Top Queries" view
In the top queries window, the history can only be searched via three date ranges:
Zoom Range,
Window Range,
All historyIt would be good to be able to search a custom date range to make the graph easier to see for a time period of interest. Window range is only three days max and all time can be too broad.

Customizing alerts without loosing inherited settings
Would be great to have the possibility to customize alerts on lower levels without loosing the inerited "customizations".
Otherwise there is the need to "copy" all the exclusions made on higher or highest level to the level that should be customized...
In example : i want to add a keyword for a specific query on Database Instance without loosing all the exceptions made for backup and so on.7 votes -

remember
Remember time period in overview of an instance or change the default from 24 hours. I tend to look at the overview of an instance using the last 6 hours however every time I click down in the overview I have to change from last 24 hours to last 6 hours, this is very frustrating. I would like to be able to remember my last setting or at least be able to change the default for me as a user.

Show current data sizes on purging page
On the data purging page would it be possible to show for each of the data categories how much space each one is currently occupying.
Possibly even an 'oldest date' too? As this may be pertinent if the purge thresholds haven't yet been met.
On some environments I want to keep as much SQL Monitor data as possible and if it's a healthy server you may have very little alert data, and so want to keep more history than you do say, machine data.
It would also help in cases where the Repository database is growing, and you're not sure…

Monitor for unavailable disks
I'd like to see SQL monitor check for disks that were previously available but are no longer. Example: I have a machine were a disk is online, something goes wrong and the disk goes offline. I would like SQL monitor to alert me to this. If the disk contains database files I would get a database unavailable alert, however if it is a drive that holds backups there would be no notification until the backups start failing.
This would have to be setup differently for clusters where a disk may exist on any node in the cluster due to failovers.
