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.

Report that shows top 50 long running queries across the estate
Submitting an enhancement request to expand the reporting capabilities for long running across the entire estate. The report tile only show a handful. It would be very useful to be able to run a report listing the top 25, 50, etc long running queries across the entire SQL estate. The data is available somewhere but instead of going into each instance a consolidated report would be greatly beneficial is order to identify queries for performance review. We are also going through an upgrade and are identifying queries to benchmark for before and after performance to ensure there is no degradation.

Add User Settings feature
Add a User Settings feature that will hold all user preferences, as different DBAs / users have different ways in using SQL Monitor. For example - (1) ability to display on the Overviews page only desired health levels (Critical, Warning, etc), or named group, or base monitor, or any combination, rather than load all servers from all groups from all base monitors. I really don't want to know that I have 265 healthy out of 275 servers - this will speed up loading of the Overviews page. (2) any other user preference.

Avg. lock wait time alert
Be able to have the Avg. lock wait time metric as a configurable alert.
this metric is already available in the analysis tab, but we can't define alert on it.

Remove "Configure alert" link from alert emails
This is a big issue for me because I send Job Failure alert emails to the development team, but I don't want different people configuring alerts on Redgate Monitor. Only DBA's can make changes to the monitoring configuration.
I don't think the "View full alert details" is necessary either. If developers need to see more information, they can look at the Job History.

save monitoring data of a specific day
When having performance related issues on environments we'd like to be able to "save" the data of a specific day or days in order to do a proper root cause analysis, even over a longer period of time.
Due to aggregation of data we're now seeing issues arise that after a certain period we're no longer able to access detailed monitoring data of that day through SQL Monitor. Being able to access this data in SQL Monitor helps us correlate this data against other monitoring systems even after aggregation.
Our suggestion would be to add a save button for a…4 votes -

Set a configurable delay to send the Resolved/Ended emails
Sometimes the emails sent by SQLmonitor to PagerDuty are delayed for some minutes
In this case it can happen that PagerDuty received the "Resolved/Ended" emails before the "Raised" emails because this one has been delayed for too long and because the alert was resolved after 1 or 2 minutes...
When it happening the alert is never closed and generate a useless phone call
So to fix this issue we would like to delay all the "Resolved/Ended" emails send by SQL monitor to be sure that PagerDuty received the "Raised" emails before "Resolved/Ended" emails4 votes -
Long-Running Query Alert - Occurrences tab to refer only to instances of that query
In the long running query alert, the occurrence tab shows a history of occurrences of the long running query alert. These alerts are the history of any long-running query rather than just the query in the alert
It would be helpful to be able to see a long running query alert and see just the alerts for that query to be able to quickly understand whether this query is a regular problem, or something new.
I appreciate it is possible by highlighting the time period in the server overview page, finding the query and then viewing the query history but…

Modifying of several alerts for specific entity could be more user friendly
1) after change tree in left panel with all servers collapse and again should expand nodes down to place where I left
2) color of changed records could be more visible, maybe some light background could be added4 votes -
Long Running Open SSMS Transaction
Would be really helpful to have an alert that can alert on long running open SSMS transaction and the alert can return the user running it and query being run and on what server we often see it when users forget to commit or role back there transaction.

Add date to legend when filtering across multiple days
When we filter on the top graph across multiple days, on the legend below won't show the days, just the time.
The image is the current case.
What I would like is to have the days.
Instead of "from 08:18 to 08:19"
expected "from 18 Jun 08:18 to 19 Jun 08:19" or equivalent4 votes -
Only Query Serverless Azure SQL Databases if they are Online and not Paused
As mentioned in the below post, SQL Monitor will keep serverless Azure SQL databases from pausing and saving us the money they are supposed to. I would like the Azure SQL monitoring piece to be rewritten to use the Azure API to determine both if the Azure SQL DB is serverless or not and if it is AND paused, don't run any queries that would wake it. Yet if it is NOT paused, get info about it and update SQL Monitor.

Possible AI usage for Alerts in Red Gate Monitor
The alert system for Red Gate Monitor could be improved with some more intelligence. For example Full backup jobs and differential backups, weekly full, daily differential. Of course the differential will take a lot more time just before the full backup in comparison with the differential backup just after the full backup. If Monitor could "learn" the environment and only give alerts when things are really off then this would be much better.

implementing user permission settings at the instance level, rather than at the cluster level.
In my company, it is crucial to implement permission settings at the instance level, rather than at the cluster level, for accessing overviews and creating summarized reports. ~
This feature is extremely important because our clusters are shared by multiple tenants/instrances, and we need the ability to assign specific permissions to the respective owners of each instance.4 votes -
add SSO option to the AD/LDAP logon screen
Attached file is from an application we use that allows the user to quickly logon as themselves, or to manually enter network credentials. In addition, the attached file shows a logon screen with the application version number; this too would be helpful for Redgate Monitor without having to login and check the configuration info page.

Create an alert that triggers when receiving only partial telemetry from a server
I have a situation where Redgate Monitor is sometimes not receiving telemetry from the server OS. This occurred sporadically for several weeks until I had to open the server's detailed information, where I discovered the missing telemetry. The monitor triggered no alerts during those weeks despite it being caused by crashing windows services.
I've attached a screenshot that shows the missing telemetry for CPU and memory, caused by the perfmon service timing out and crashing.
After opening a ticket I was informed that there are no alert conditions in the monitor to detect this situation. This seems like a crucial…
