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.

Want to monitor SingleStore Databases
As part of our infrastructure, we utilize SingleStore databases, and we would greatly benefit from monitoring capabilities within your platform. Given its MySQL-based architecture, we believe incorporating SingleStore monitoring into RedGate’s suite would enhance visibility, optimize performance tracking, and streamline database operations.
We kindly request that you consider adding SingleStore database monitoring at the earliest opportunity.

We would like to have a log of users that did use RedGate Monitor
In that way we could create a report of the users when they did use RedGate Monitor. example a weekly or monthly report showing how many times a user did use the application.

SQL Versions Page
Hi there,
We maintain a number of legacy SQL Servers that are still monitored via SQL Monitor. I regularly use the SQL Versions page to identify which instances require patching.
However, some of these servers are under a permanent patch freeze, and I’d like to update their status to “OK” so they no longer appear as needing attention.
It would be amazing if one could update the patch status for these servers within Redgate to mark them as compliant to reflect their frozen state.

Grant Web Client Access for Specific Elastic Pool, Instance or Database
We can currently share the web console out at the Server, Cluster or Replica level.
I would like more granularity and be able to share at lower levels:- SQL Server Instance
- Azure SQL Elastic Pool
- Azure SQL Database
We are a very large IT department with people dedicated to individual systems/databases.
I would prefer to hide things they don't own.3 votes -
that DevOps team that can only monitor their own database can also suspend them without having administrator rights
at the moment when people have administrator rights within Redgate Monitor they can suspend their databases but also all other databases we monitor. we would like to be able to grant teams rights to only be able to suspend the databases that they use and have rights to see within Redgate Monitor.

Analytics Dashboard Selection Parameters
On the Analysis Dashboard there are lots and lots of Metrics. Not all of them are Availbale for ervery RDBMS. It would be good to have switches to narrow down the Metrics to SQL-Server or Postgres Parameters, e.g. if you swich on Postgres only Metrics for Postgres Servers are shown.

Show Estate Groups in the "For" Dropdowns in Reports
In the Reports section, there is a "For" dropdown that allows you to select specific instances or "Everything". It would be helpful to be able to select a Groups of instances on the report or individual tiles within the report. These groups are setup in Configuration > Estate > Groups.
For example, you could group your servers into Production/Staging/Dev, then you'd be able to setup a report that only shows Production metrics/issues.

Pass tags through the webhook json
I would like something like {{Target-tag}} to pass through the webhook, this will allow us to better spilt the alerts to the correct team on the other side so that 1 team isn't having to get all the alerts, but using other integrations and wrokflows with something like a tag we can spilt the alerts to different teams based on target and severity, but also with shared servers the tags will allow us to spilt those alerts as well.

Improved Notification Methodology
It would be much to our advantage if notifications were their own object that could be tied to an object and inherited. This would allow us to tie the same notification to multiple alarms and make changes to all associated objects at once. Separating the notification from the alert would allow us flexibility with much simpler notification management. This feature would also allow us to look at things backwards to determine which alerts are tied to a given notification target.
Additionally, with a separate notifcation object we would gain the ability to have a different notifcation tied to Critical alerts…

We learned from this old request that network utilization is monitoring in full duplex, therefore the maximum utilization is 200% instead of
We learned from a support ticket (and experience) that network utilization is monitoring in full duplex, therefore the maximum utilization is 200% instead of 100%. Unfortunately, I'm unable to modify our monitoring configuration to have thresholds above 100%. In a perfect world, network utilization would be split into two alerts, one for send and one for receive, this way we could manage the utilization limits separately. But if the perfect solution is not possible, then we'd at least like to be able to enter thresholds above 100% so we can alert at 150% utilization (for example).

Select multiple groups for "latest alerts" sidebar
It would be great if we could select multiple groups in the latest alerts. For example, PostgreSQL Prod and PostgreSQL Dev/Test.
Background: We work in several subteams, such as Postgres and MSSQL. I would like to see only the latest alerts for PostgreSQL Prod and Test, and not for the other groups.And I don't want to switch the groups from PG Prod to PG dev.

View the name of the responsible Query or Job in Teams notification,
View the name of the responsible Query or Job in Teams notification, The Microsoft Teams notifications are great. good way of being notified if something is wrong. This could be improved by providing the name of the long running query or name of job that is blocking. the View in Redgate Monitor button does not help when just on phone. it's great when your in the office. but if your monitoring out of hours.

Exclude queries from Blocking Alerts based on the blocked process rather than the blocking process
I want to be able to "mute" blocked process alerts based on information about the process being blocked rather than the process doing the blocking.
Currently, we can exclude queries based on the process name, query text, login name, database name of the blocking process, however the same level of exclusion cannot be made for the blocking process
I want to be able to exclude blocking alerts where the query being blocked is an Intellisense query. These could be identified by the process name but currently that only applies to the process doing the blocking
I think this probably should…

Access custom metrics via the Enterprise API
We need to visualize metrics on central dashboards - the Enterprise API is PERFECT for that - except it currently does not support access to custom metrics.
Custom metrics are one of the most powerful things Redgate Monitor has - we really need the ability to access ALL of our information outside of the Redgate tool itself.

email and pager alert when redgate status is suspended
I would like to receive alert email and pager alert when sql instance is in suspended state. Alert should be received periodically till it is resumed. Currently no alert even though instane is in this state for ever. Powershell script is there to check status but to run this script port 8080 to be enabled and we cant run script on sql server to integrate with email/pager through job because port will be blocked on sql. Alternatively if you can provide table to check status of suspended instance on redgate db instance we can also configure alert by checking this…

Enhancement Request - Allow Redgate Monitor built-in report the option to suppress sending blank reports
When using Redgate Monitor's built-in report options.
Reports menu
-> Add a new report
-> Add Tile
-> Tile type
-> Summary Tile
-> Summary Tile
-> Logon Failures.When scheduling a report to send an email, if there are no logon failures, the report is still sent blank. It would be a great feature to have a way to suppress sending a blank report/email if there are no logon failures.

Enhancement Request – SQL Server Licensing Page
The SQL Server Licensing page should take into account the licensing model of monitored SQL Server instances. For example, Azure SQL Server VMs running under a Pay-As-You-Go licensing model should be identified and optionally excluded from the license requirement calculations.
If the purpose of the page is to help customers understand how many SQL Server licenses they need to purchase or maintain, consumption-based instances should be clearly highlighted and treated differently from instances covered by traditional licensing.
Otherwise, the licensing figures may be misleading, as Pay-As-You-Go workloads do not contribute to the customer's on-premises or bring-your-own-license requirements. Adding this distinction…

Ability to monitor the execution of custom monitors and see history.
Would like to see when my custom monitors ran as well as the outcome. Particularly when testing, I'd like to check on the status. As a bonus, I'd love to be able to click a button and trigger and ad-hoc check at any time.

Changes to Alerts when VCenter monitoring is interrupted
Today's RG Monitor includes vCenter integration for monitoring resources. This is a great feature that we really enjoy using. But, when there is a problem with vCenter or it is otherwise unavailable for maintenance, we get a generic internal monitoring error for every single instance we have monitored. This creates a lot of unnecessary and unuseful noise that needs to be investigated. We'd much prefer to see a custom alert specific to the VCenter object. The alert could be disabled for individual servers if we didn't want their status affected by vcenter status. Alternatively, the alert could attach to a…
