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.

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 -

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…

Subject line change on Alerting .Include TargetObject name instead of Base monitor server
Dear team ,
We are successfully integrated SQL Monitor with halcyon monitoring Via SNMP traps. Business rules in Halcyon generates the ticket in SD and it comes to DBA's for action.
we are happy that setup is working as expected but we wanted to have a TargetSystem name in subject line of the alerts instead of coming as base monitor server name where SQL monitor hosted . This will let us take a quick glance on high priority systems rather than less priority .
Subject line should include target Object instead of base monitor server name (which is default for…4 votes -

Deploy the latest API when updating Redgate Monitor
I would like when installing the latest version of Redgate Monitor to have an option for it to deploy the latest version of the API as well to a location. The last few times I have done the install I have not updated the API right away as it been a set and forget thing. Comes the evening when it runs it fails due to the versions not being the same.
I have checked within the Program Files and 2/3 of the files are not there. (RedgateMonitor.psd1 and RedgateMonitor.psm1), so I cannot just have it import via that way.4 votes -
Improved windows range handling for Individual query monitoring
The current windows range on the new Query executions tab is fixed to 2 hours. Should be great if the length of the windows range could be customised.
At the same time make it working together with the zoom range on the History tab. This so if you have zoomed in to a certain time range on history tab then when opening Query executions the same time range should be used as the windows range. Alternatively you could use the same type of windows range and zoom range that are already used on the History tab.

using standard user rights one should be able to create an alert suppression and only remove one if that one was made by the same user
DEVOPs team know when they have planned changes and in that case it would be good that they can create alert suppression and after the change removing that without we need to grant them admin rights

View top queries, stored procs, top waits, index usage at estate level on Azure SQL
You can currently only view the top stats at DB level for Azure SQL. We run a multi-tenanted SaaS application where all DB's are identical across the estate, so to be able to compare offending stored procs, indexes etc. across the board would be incredibly helpful.

Monitor an Azure SQL Database geo-replicated secondary database
We have geo-replication set up for many of our production databases, and we have some processes and users that use that for executing read-only queries. We have alerts set up in Azure Monitor for simple things like when CPU % exceeds 95% for more than 2 minutes. We would like to use Redgate Monitor to identify the workload that is causing that (Top SQL). However, when we try to add the secondary server, Redgate Monitor cannot find any databases in it.

flexible disk configuration
Currently the configuration for disk space monitoring in “RedGate Monitor” only gives the option to check on the number of bytes that is still free on the disk (in GB or MB).
Ideally one should check on the number of bytes in combination with the % free space.
The reason for this is that percentage hugely differs depending on the total size of the disk. On a small disk one would like to extend the disk when it is 80% FULL, where as on a much bigger disk, 20% space might still be many GB’s and to early to extend…4 votes
