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.

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).

Group alerts into a hierarchy
I want to be able to group alerts into a hierarchy so that for instance when a server goes offline, all of the other alerts generated such as instance unavailable are not generated.

on the overview, monitored instances be able to choose which groups to show
It is possible to choose one or all groups on the monitored instances overview. I would like to be able to select more than one group to show or deselect some groups that I do not want to see.

Change unable to connect error messages to include DNS issues
Added a server via IP address as it's in a remote DC, test ran fine. After clicking Add to monitor the server, SQL Monitor resolved the IP to the cluster name, and attempted to add the 2 cluster servers via name (which is great, much easier to recognise servers via name than remember the IP), however SQL Monitor failed to connect, with WMI errors, RPC Server unavailable etc.
These errors were misleading, as the real reason it wouldn't connect is that the server couldn't resolve the DNS names. Adding them to Hosts file sorted it straight away.
Connecting should attempt…3 votes -
Add a summary tile for deployments to a database
I'd like to see a summary tile for deployments to a database by SQL Compare and SQL Change Automation.
Also it would be good if alerts can be created for these events.3 votes -

see if a query plan is taken from a plan guide
When displaying the query plan through the "View query plan" button under query details it would be great to have an indication if this query plan was a result of a plan guide.

see my sizing per server (in Estate)
I would really like to have an extra column in Estate showing how much RAM and CPU are configured. Especially CPU information is important, because this determines how much licenses I need to maintain my Estate.
The extra column could be added between Versions and Status.

Include Drive Name on disk related graphs
A while back per "Disk Names in Overviews and Analysis" the disk/drive names were included some areas but it would be helpful to be consistent and have them included in all disk/drive related graphs.

Allow custom DML script deployments to show on SQL Monitor (like SQL Compare)
Write now, when you deploy with SQL Compare it puts this wonderful little tick mark in SQL Monitor to show the deployment location and time. We would like the ability to do this with SQL Multi Script or even manually via manual deployments.

solution :as we work in the shifts , I want it should not come more then 3 time which is in 8-9 hours duration .when I am setting the limit then it will impact to all server not the specific one . whereas I would like to check this monitor based on the time and then fire the alert

Customize Alerts on the Overviews Page
Allow for the customization of the Alerts in the Alerts section on the Overviews Page.
These customized alerts would be independent of the settings for the Alerts tab. That way Alerts would just be customized for the Overviews Page.3 votes -
Add "When File Grew" Drilldown to the new Estate page, Disk Usage
The new Estate page is already proving useful, but today not as much as it could be...
tempdb LOG suddenly grew to twice its normal size, and we have yet to trace why. It may have gone unnoticed but for SQM issuing a LOW DISK SPACE Alert!
Please add a drilldown for DB files that show the times, and quantities, for growth. A sparkline chart would help, too, as a visual cue. for the last 30-days, perhaps.
Thanks for continuously making SQM more useful.

It would be useful if I can include baseline data (as in Analysis section) within reports and their graphs.
