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.

Pull Server Certification Info
Would like to request enhancement to be able to create a report to pull Server Certificate info, and have an email sent out to notify us 30/60/90 days before hand when it will expire. Pull details like the certificate issuer, validity period, and common name from the server certificate installed on the target machine.

Allow Creation of time series charts based on alerts raised
There are times where you have an alerts such as low ple on a heavy use server, this will take several remedial measures to fix - having the ability to create time series charts showing amount of alerts raised over time for any particular alert on a particular server for a specified time frame would be helpful in assessing how affective any remedial actions are

be able to see in Redgate Monitor who changed the status of an alert
We have a certain way of working with the tool and all of a sudden, a whole bunch of alerts that were marked 'read' (and what we think are worth looking at) are switched to 'read' ... and thus are no longer looked into ... as they are off the map. I can't figure out who made the status change right now. It would be a big plus if we could have status auditing in Redgate Monitor.

Add more visibility to captured system processes
A view of all system processes is available whenever an alert is clicked. It would be nice to get the same view of system processes with their CPU and memory consumption for a specified time even of there is no alert to click on at that time.

In the Analysis tab, it would be better to have an option to change the font from grey (very hard to see) to black/dark blue or something

Allow trace to be set at the individual alert level and severity
SQL Trace can highly impact the performance of the server. I can't benefit from trace right now as it's set on any alert to launch a trace.
Other monitoring tools, for instance Sql Sentry, allow the individual alert to be configured with settings for trace.
For example: A long running job might benefit from a trace, while a "dbcc checkdb " hasn't been run in a long time should not trigger a trace. This increases storage and server load for no benefit.
Please look into allowing traces to be configured based on the alert AND the severity level defined on…

I wish the mouse wheel did not automatically modify the date scale in the Analysis graph.
I can't count the number of times I have unintentionally messed up a graph with the mouse wheel. It is quite annoying to me.

Expand lower section of overview window
I would like the ability to expand the sections in the lower portion of the overview window or break them out into separate windows. For example, when viewing the Top 10 Queries or Waits it is very difficult because there is not enough room. Also because the individual tabs scroll separately from the main window, scrolling is a pain. The top graph section shrinks, but it still takes up too much screen area. Being able to break out in individual sections or expand them to fill the screen would be very helpful.
See attached screenshot for an example.

Detect Unsupported SQL Server Versions When Upgrading Versions
I was running v4 with a MSSQL 2005 database and decided to upgrade to v6. The installer finished successfully, however when it took me to the Web App page, there was a warning that the database upgrade did not complete successfully. The reported error was "Cannot assign a default value to a local variable". I knew right away it was a problem with my old SQL Server version. I checked the forums and indeed, 2005 is no longer supported with version 6. I understand that, and have no problem with it. However, ya'll would have saved me the headache of…

Allow users access to view specific reports
Currently I create a few reports for different business areas and e-mail them daily. It would be really useful if they could follow the link on the page and view their reports only without having access to the site in general. They could then use the report filters.
Another idea would be to be able to create a reports page with a static link where I could put several different reports, users would have access to this page only and be able to view any reports created in real time.6 votes -

Blocking process alert based on number of descendants
While the alert for blocking process is great, it would be nice to be able to configure the trigger for number of descendants affected as well.
If a blocking process runs for 30 seconds and affects 10 people but the alert is configured for a one minute duration of the block it would obviously not let you know

On the Overview screen, collapse AlwaysOn clusters into a single tile
I have quite a few AlwaysOn groups, with 3 servers as part of the group. SQL Monitor very cleverly takes the cluster name and adds all 3 servers to the monitoring list ... HOWEVER, on the Overview screen, they show as individual servers. It would be good if I could collapse that all down into one tile that shows an overall health of the group. I realize this is a different situation from an FCI because there can be multiple 'active' nodes, but it would be good if SQL Monitor understood that I added an AG listener server list and…
