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.

Create smaller timeframes on the server overview page.
Currently if you dive into the overview page of a certain server the default timeframe is 24 hours, you can narrow this into 12,6,3 and 1 hour.
I would like to have the opportunity to narrow it down into minutes.like a custom time frame. This helps to do a more clean investigation.

Limit user access on clusters
I would like to be able to grant specific AD users / groups access to specific instances on a cluster. Currently its only possible to grant access at the cluster level which gives more access than is necessary. This would be a supremely useful feature for me!

Make "Source" hyperlink in Alert take you to the specific date time on the Server Overview Page
If I click on the "Source" Hyperlink in alert, this opens the server overview page for the relevant server, however, the displayed time frame is the default (24 hour period ending at the current time)
It would be helpful if the server overview page opened at the date / time of the alert as it is highly likely after clicking the hyperlink, that you are going to want to view the point in time of the alert

Make it possible to mark a query to be tracked from the database menu
On the "Top queries" within the database menu, we can only "View estimated plan" and "Copy query text".
It would be handy to have here the "Track query" option too.
Nowadays, if I find it here, I need to filter on the top and only then I can "Track query"

Being able to type the (graph) zoom range time
Sometimes is hard to quickly get to the time range we want to analyse.
It would be handy if we could have a "free text" time box to type:
Zoom range Start: 11:10
Zoom range End: 11:313 votes -
Add the ability to use "special" characters (@, #, etc) when using searching in "Top Queries"
Hi, I'm trying to search some query patterns on the "Top Queries" grid for example "INSERT INTO @" or "INSERT INTO #" (to get all inserts on table variables or temp tables) however, in both situations, the @ and the # is being ignored.
Please include those (and other chars) to refine our searches.
Not sure if "RegEx" would be another option that would be even broader.
Thanks

Use a private route for AWS RDS instances to remove the need for a public endpoint to monitor the instance
The current configuration only allows for the specific format my-db-identifier.random-chars.aws-region.rds.amazonaws.com / my-db-identifier.random-chars.rds.aws-region.amazonaws.com.cn. We would like the ability to use any dns name to allow intra-cloud or hybrid cloud scenarios for the ability to use a private/internal route to the RDS instance so that we do not have to use the public route for monitoring.

Estate Licensing - Align with Microsoft HA/DR Licensing policy
Estate licensing appears to tally all licenses for servers in an WFC/HA config. 3 node cluster 4 cores, 12 licenses (when it should be 8). Please provide the process to identify an HA or DR node, which will allow the Redgate Estate portal to align with Microsoft SQL Licensing: https://download.microsoft.com/download/e/2/9/e29a9331-965d-4faa-bd2e-7c1db7cd8348/SQL_Server_2019_Licensing_guide.pdf.

Job failing Alert option for number of consecutive failures in a row
I have some SQL Agent jobs that run every 2 minutes and legitimately fail occasionally to circumstances outside our control.
I need to be alerted if the job is constantly failing, e.g. failed 5 times in a row, but I do not care about one off failures.Having a customisable option for individual jobs to alert only after X consecutive failures would be fantastic.

Customize email alert recurrence to receive it more often
Have an option to change how often I want the email alerts to come. Let's say I want to track the alert for every, and I mean every, SQL job failure. Everytime a job fails, even when I intentionally fail it, I want to receive a mail.

To add on - able to save the metric of baseline in 'Analysis' page by showing different metric graph with their own baseline
I think this idea is useful for metric comparison with the baseline. Currently, user need to select the metric every single time login into the page. This config could not be saved.

I would like to customize the behavior when job failures happen. We get an alert on the 1st but no additional until the job is successful
I would like to customize the behavior when job failures happen. We get an alert on the 1st error but no additional alert until the job is successful. It would be nice to have the ability to allow this behavior as a default but then have the option to have specific Job Failures alert every time (mainly for jobs that run weekly or greater).
