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.

I would like to configure different gMSA accounts as credentials for different servers

Have links on the Configuration/Alerts page look like links
The alert names don’t look like links, so I never tried clicking on them until recently. That does work, as does clicking on the Description. However, some styling (blue text or a blue underline) would make this feature more discoverable for oblivious people like me. 😊

On the Alerts Group Details > Blocking Process page, I want to see Start, End, and Blocked Process Count columns columns
I would like to see Start and End columns or a Duration column, along with a Blocked Process Count.
When displaying the Process tab on the detail page, it would be helpful for each blocked process to display as a collapsed line in a tree, each branch of which can be expanded. Each line should display the SessionId, Start and End or Duration, and the Application, Host, User, and the first (n) characters of the SQL fragment. It is great to have all the details available, but I currently get one huge page with no navigation for one blocker (see…

Set database file usage per drive level on the DATABASE LEVEL
, i know we can set database file usage per drive level on the server level. But there are many times when a vendor created db, they have multiple data files mdf/ndf and have them set to limits. So i was wondering can we get even more granular. I want to be able to drill down to the database and select a particular file group and say ignore this drive, it has met its capacity and even though its 100% filled data is no longer being written there. And the reason behind that is there can be multiple data files…

customize email notifications
I would like to be able to customize the email notifications in redgate through the use of variables that can be substituted anywhere in the email notification (title, body etc..). At the very least I would like the alert id to be added to the title of the email and not just the body.

Server & instance stats on main window
I'd like to be able to see at a glance the basic details of my instance and the server on which it is running.
I would love if I could see the following on the main screen:
• SQL Server Version — SQL Server 2022 CU16 | 16.0.4150 (CU16)
• Server Version — WS 2022 21H2 | 20348.2762

Allow changing first day of week
I would be nice to be able to configure the first day of the week as Monday, instead of Sundays. This is the most common definition of weeks in Europe. Other parts of the world have different perspectives, so any day should the selectable.
This is visible in all dropdowns where a date can be selected.1 vote -
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.

Add Unallocated Disk Space % to the History view for a database
For Azure SQL Databases, this view currently has check boxes for DTU, CPU, Data IO, and Log IO, which are all checked by default. It would be great to add a check box for Space, which would not be checked by default and would show Unallocated Disk Space %.

Add custom banner to the logon page
Basic authentication is sufficient for simple installations for few users. But security recommendations require a custom banner be displayed at the logon page. It will be nice if Redgate Monitor can do that without using OpenID or other external authentication methods.

Filtering on a Postgres Aurora Cluster based on Node
When adding a Aurora Postgres Cluster to be monitored, if it has multiple nodes, say a reader/writer. Can we get a feature that will show only the metrics related to that specific node. Say I want to see only the CPU/Memory/Throughput for the writer node only and vice versa for the reader node.

Security auditing
Monitor SQL Server login and database user activity to identify unused or anomalous accounts. Supports security audits, enforces the Principle of Least Privilege (POLP), and helps retire or restrict dormant or misused accounts.
The tool will collect and analyze login usage data across all servers and databases. It will:
Report accounts that have not been used within a configurable time period.
Identify accounts active in unexpected contexts (e.g., unauthorized hostnames or outside normal business hours).
Allow administrators to define thresholds or parameters for expected usage and generate alerts when violations occur.

Want Estate page to report patch correctly for GDR only instances.
In the SQL Server versions page under Estate, Redgate Monitor checks for the “Latest available update” for each SQL instance. It compares the instance level with the latest patch released on the CU-path for the instance version and sets the Status column as appropriate, flagging where a patch is missing, be that CU or CU+GDR.
I would like an option to set specific SQL instances to be on the GDR-only pathway and have Redgate Monitor check and provide accurate last GDR patch and status detail for those too.
Without this change, GDR-path instances can show as "update needed" (yellow) in…

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.

service now event creation
ServiceNow integration current creates incidents directly in ServiceNow. Due to corporate standards we aren't allowed to directly create incidents. All monitoring integrations to ServiceNow have to create "events", which are then mappen within ServiceNow to incidents (where applicable).
Please consider adding an option to create events instead of incidents.1 vote
