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.

  2. Show Job Description in Job Alerts

    I'd like to see the job description in job alerts. We use this field in sql server to add notes about what the job does, who to inform on failure and rerun steps.

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  7. View trace queries without alert

    It would be nice to be able to view Trace queries without an alert. For example a separate page to go through the queries against the DB even when an alert is not raised.

  8. be able to be advised if a certain query (sql_handle or query_hash) is suddenly taking much longer than normal to execute. Not only to see

    I would like to be able to be advised if a certain query (grouped by sqlhandle or queryhash) is suddenly taking longer than normal to execute.

    The query may or may not be included in the top 10 queries.

  9. Remove dropped database from Configuration>Monitored servers

    I would like to be able to delete a database from Configuration>Monitored servers, if that database has been dropped from the monitored SQL server.
    As it stands now, if a database has been dropped, I have to remove it manually from the RedGateSQLMonitor database via script.

  10. Correct Database file usage alerts with In-Memory/Filestream Filegroups

    The Database file usage alerts in V 8.2 are great, however they do not work correctly with Filestream filegroups. per https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/comment/153592 they are not supported.

    Please either add support for these filegroup types or disable them by default so we are not spammed by alerts for something that's not valid.

    Thanks,
    -Luke.

  13. 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.

  14. Change Processor Utilization per instance

    Currently i have 4 instances which are part of an availability group and run maintenance as various times. although different maintenance windows would be nice to have the flexibility of changing Processor Utilization per instance rather than per cluster.

  17. Raise an Event Alert when a database is dropped

    There is currently no alert when a database is dropped or detached from a server. SQL Monitor should create an Event alert to record when the drop happened. Obviously this might be intentional (e.g. the alert you have now that records a database is offline), but it might be accidental or unknown to the DB team (E.g. a vendor drops their database).

    Because it will (hopefully) be an intentional action, and quite probably no plan to ever re-attach the database, the alert should be an event alert rather than a normal alert (the normal alert would never end)

  20. show client host name for queries in top SQL

    In the TOP SQL, I see login and program name, but not client host name. It would be helpful to see the client host name, too.
