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 — often the SQL Monitor team will initially stay quiet about new suggestions to see what you have to say!
If you have any questions visit the Redgate Monitor forum.

non sql servers should not need a license
i think it would be very nice being able to have alerts for non sql servers without the need to allocate a license to those.

data purging - add a flush/reset button
it would be nice to have the possibility to clean/empty all data from sql monitor. for instance since we were trying different alert options etc... there's a lot of stuff which are not needed anymore. i mean after fine tuning the system i'd like to "start over" with a clean history even if we lose the old logs...

configure notifications 'per alert per object' rather than just 'per alert'
Right now we have a large number of SQL Servers across different environments such as dev, QA, production, etc. In a similar way to having multiple notification channels configured on an alert (another suggestion covers that), I'd like to be able to configure the alert notifications differently for each level that the alert is set at ... I'm away from work right now, but I think that although you can set the thresholds and filters at each group level, you cannot change the notification settings (eg, do NOT trigger SNMP alert for non-production environments). if I'm right about that, then…

In the email alert for custom notifications I would like to execute an ad-hoc query that shows me the results.
This will allow me to write a custom metric alert and see the results of the alert inside the email alert. Example where I monitor one log file with various items the custom alert message can give me context on what errors are written to the log inside of the email

In the Global Overview screen, have a filter selection for Still Active Alerts
Once an Alert has been cleared or ended I no longer want to see it on my Global Overview screen. When I am handling lots of servers and I see lots of RED on the alert side but they have either been cleared (checked) or ended I no longer want them showing up on the global screen unless I want them too to review. This causes lots of questions from management when they walk by and see lots of RED and the Alert was handled or no longer a concern.

New alert type for blocking in parallel execution plans
We frequently get alerts for a "Blocking process" where 1 process is blocking itself because it is running in parallel and the threads are blocking each other. While this might represent a scenario that can be improved this is normal activity in queries that use a parallel execution plan. This alert is identifiable by "Number of blocked descendants: Unknown" and the lack of any blocked sessions.
I do not think this type of blocking should be ignored. But, there is no customize the behavior of this alert. If you exclude specific queries from the "Blocking process" alert you would not…

In the ability to compare metrics with historic performance I would like to drop certain days (or hours)
Most of my SQL usage is a mon-Fri pattern so adding in the 2 weeekend days creates a much wider band of "normal" than is realistic. I would like to be able to create a pattern of timeperiods to add in to the comparison so I can drop out days (and maybe hours) which are not representative of "normal" running

Create summary tile with alert search results
I'd like a summary tile to show failed jobs. To be more flexible, a functionality to save an alert search as a summary tile would be a nice feature.

Tag alerts for reporting
I would love to be able to create custom tags for alerts so I can later report on them. For example, we have process that run regularly that causes blocking sessions here and there. I would love to be able to add multiple tags to an alert that later I can run reports to see if those process have a regular pattern of interrupting business.

Analysis Graph Tab
This is about the Statistics for the Disk avg. read and write metrics.
There are times when based on the results for a server the statistics are presented in seconds. More often than not it will be 0.0, 0.2 sec, etc.
This is not very helpful, and I often find myself having to download the Export (csv) and get the average.It would be much more beneficial to just show all results in milliseconds, or present an option to the end user of seeing ms or seconds.
Thank you

Blocking process Hover Information should show Total Blocking Duration
The (Restored in 8.0.6) hover over the Alert List's "Last Updated" column shows the duration of the Alert itself, NOT the total time involved.
Unless you memorize the configuration of this Alert for each of its 3 severity levels, and assume they never change, and never vary by server, nor by database... you must sill open each event to see the "Total blocking duration for all descendants" published under the "Details" tab, then add that to the event duration, for which you must now do time subtraction as there is no "Duration" on the Status line... (another omission).
