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.

Share alerts via Email
The ability to share alerts details via Email from the "Alert Details" page.
Sometimes we don't want to share a direct link to the monitor.
E.G
Click "share" which will open a mailto: with the relevant alert details.1 vote -
scroll through the overview graph and zoom in/out
It would be a lot easier if we could scroll through the overview graph and zoom in/out. For instance, on Monday morning I need to inspect a long (2 to 3 day) ETL job with 4 main parts. Currently I have to select the last timestamp I like to see in the graph and then select "Last 2 days". Then I can drag the sliders to highlight the area I want to investigate.
It would be easier to click the graph and drag it left/right and use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out

I would like to give aliases to queries for easy recognition
I would like to be able to give an alias for a query text and have that alias show up on the top 10 list.
This to enable easy recognition of "known offenders". We have a lot of queries that are almost identical and drilling into each of them to check the where clauses to determine the actual query is getting tiresome.

Clone a report and change the server name globally within it
I have crafted a report for my servers. I understand there's some behind-the-scenes scripting I can do to replicate a report, but the GUI could provide a "Clone Report" option, allowing me to change the server name reference on all the widgets. Sure would make deploying one extra server easy.

SQL Monitor acquiring shared locks on objects
Is it necessary for SQL Monitor to acquire shared locks on objects when monitoring a SQL instance?
We experienced a deadlock on our system when SQL Monitor was trying to query a system table msdb..backupset at the same time that on of our maintenance plans was deleting backup history as one of its sub tasks.
It would be nice if we could either set the isolation level per alert or if you guys would amend your code to use nolock query hints?

Be able to report on current alert configuration at All Servers and Specific Servers/Instance levels
Be able to run a report or create an output file that lists default and customized alert settings at All Server, Server and Instance level (Including notification setup).
This is a common request from management and at this point the only option I can think is to setup a spreadsheet and start going through all the alerts.

I would like to be able to install an update without having to change the browser port.
I start with port 8080, when installing an update the port is "in-use" so I have to switch to port 8081, with the next update I switch back to port 8080.
Surely the update should be smart enough to see there is a running process and either disable the web process until the update is finished, or make the update without having to change the port1 vote -
Be able to set an Alert to escalate when it has been active for a certain amount of time.
I have a several different Jobs that fail periodically, once in a while is not a big problem but when they continue to fail over a period of time it does become a problem and I need to know. Likewise when I have an AG is slow to sync in the middle of the night when it is rebuilding all of the indexes of a 1.2TB database and syncing across to locations in 2 states I don't want to be paged, but if it is persistent through the day I do.

Search for SPID for specific Date and Time
I would be a good idea to have a functionality in SQL Monitor to search for SPID for specific Date and time. This will help us to review what query run by who on given date and time.

Unlicensed Databases
If a license is removed for a database, a banner at the top of the page shows up saying, "You have unlicensed servers. Unlicensed servers will not be monitored and will not raise alerts. Manage licenses | Manage monitored servers". And, on the "Configuration > Monitored servers" page the databases show with a red x, as Unlicensed, and a Manage licenses link.
It is good that licenses can be removed for individual databases, however it would be better to be able to remove the databases once they are unlicensed, so that we don't have to have the banner and the…

use alternate IP addresses for named instances
I am modifying my named instances to use separate IP addresses. This allows me to use CNAMES for each databases, We are then able to move the databases around to another instance without the customers having to modify their connection strings.We are also able to use port 1433 for all existences. SQL monitor tries to connect to the instance using the servername\SQLINSTANCE, which no longer works remotely suite to each instance having it's own IP Address using and alternate A-RECORD name.

Assign user to an event
It would be helpful if we could assign a User to an event, just like comments, so when you login, you could switch to a view that holds assigned events that someone wants you to look at.

Auto hide Menu and Filter bar
When in TV/Overview mode (dashboard), It would be nice to get the full real estate on the TV/Monitor to show as many server tiles as posible, hence auto hiding the top menu and filter bar. with a dropdown button (show button) on the top right side of the server tile area. (shown in the image associated).

Display total memory for memory graphs on summary screens
The memory graph on the summary screen does not always show the total memory on the screen. It shows what is being used, but I have no idea how much is free.
I have attached a file showing one one of my servers that has 128GB of total memory. However, the graph only shows 75GB and it makes it look like most of the memory is consumed.

Activity monitor is showing "Blocked By" sessions that are not showing up in SQL Monitor
Is there an issue with the blocking information in SQL Monitor or are there certain types of blocks that are excluded? We are seeing blocks displayed in the SSMS Activity Monitor that are not being displayed on the SQL Monitor Overview page for Blocked Processes.

Please add the icon for machine type (VM/Azure/Physical) on the main screen display.
Currently you have to click on the machine to display the icon to see if it is a VM or physical machine.
