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.

Cluster Roles that have been renamed should no longer have an entry with the old name
Over the last year and a half I have migrated several SQL FCI's to new windows clusters, new hardware, windows and SQL versions. To accomplish this with minimal downtime I had to setup the cluster roles ahead of time with everything ready to go prior to doing a final tlog backup/restore and rename of the cluster instances. This has worked well for us however SQL Monitor creates a new server record when the instance is renamed and never gets rid of the original name of the the new instance. This has left me with SQL Monitor still showing this nonexistent…

Include more details regarding a disk space usage/free report
What I'm looking for is that for today, the D: drive is this filesize, e.g. 500gb. Once the report runs again the following week, it is 505 gb and so on. Then it would summarize that there is a differential of 5 gb which is the growth.

It would be nice to be able to exclude names of databases to be backed up instead of un clicking them one at a time .

This should be similar to the long running queries where you have the option to exclude.1 vote -
Alternate color background on dashboard server groups
Could you add some alternating color background to different server groups on the overview dashboard so the swimlanes are much easier to distinguish

I am making reports in the Red Gate SQL Monitor. I am organizing them by databases in AGs. This is difficult because when selecting what database to monitor it is either ALL on server or an individual one. I have to put a new line for each database I want. Could you please also include "ALL in AG xxx". This way I do not have to add a line for each database in the AG I am monitoring, and if I add or take away a database from that AG then it will automatically be done on the report.

Error Log Section - Under the instance screen add a search function similar to Databases section where we can search for keywords like failed logins. This will speed up the process to look for something specific rather than moving through pages looking for that one error.

Sort top queries by logical reads, or cpu usage.
Same idea that is already being done with duration. These are the 3 aggregates most commonly used. Being able to sort by avg vs total would be ideal. Performance Reports in SSMS can do this, so that idea.

Show alert bubbles in other metrics, too
I like seeing the alert bubbles in the main overview. It would be helpful to also be able to see them in the additional metrics shown below. Anothe option would be to align these other metrics with the main 4-metric window.

MONITORING ERROR (SQL SERVER DATA COLLECTION) more infromation
Is it possible to list the items that failed in the alert?
In the description for this alert it notes that one or more of the following connection methods failed:
WMI
Remote registry (PerfMon and registry access)
Remote file access is not set up (hidden administrative shares should be enabled)
SQL connectivityIs it possible to note in the alert details which one failed? It would make troubleshooting after the fact a bit easier.

Ignore Negative Custom Metric Collection
I am trying to add a custom metric based on the sys.dmosperformance_counters DMV. These are very useful for gaining Instance Level information. These counters increment as each lock is requested. I have used the “Use a calculated rate of change between collections” option which accurately depicts the graph I am trying to accomplish. The caveat is that these counters are reset to 0 when the instance is restarted. Therefore in any of my graphs, I get this huge negative value. This basically renders the metric useless because I cannot visualize any metrics once a server is rebooted.

Manage Scheduled SQL Monitor Reports from one overview page.
It's easy to set up a new report and schedule for SQL monitor reports. But once schedules are created it's difficult to manage them.
Have an overview page that would allow you to see all that has been scheduled .... giving options to:
1) Delete individual schedule (e.g. following server decommission or server no longer monitored).
2) Edit individual report schedule ... e.g. change time / frequency and for a particular type of report change the target server for that report ... i.e server replaced, being able to move report from reporting on original server report created for to replacement…1 vote -
see Lock Escalations/sec as available metric in analysis graph
The customizable analysis graph does not include the option to display Lock Escalations/Sec (\SQLServer:Access Methods\Table Lock Escalations/sec). I like to compare this to baseline to regression-test releases. In conjunction with waits\locks, it can also warn the user that an index is no longer being used (as would happen if Entity Framework began searching a varchar column for an nvarchar value).

Command Line Install
I'd like command line installation to be an available option for SQL Monitor as I want to automate and script it, rather than having to do it manually

I would like to do some custom filters of 'Alerts raised or updated in the last:'. AND also be able to do range filters for them eg 2am to 6pm.
We are 24/7 DBAs at a big bank in South Africa and we want to be able to see whats alerts came through our individual shifts.

Change Overviews to Overview
The "Overviews" menu item is grammatically incorrect. The menu item should be spelled "Overview". "Overviews" is most commonly used as a verb. The plural noun form is relatively uncommon and would refer to a general review or summary of multiple, distinct subject areas.
