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.

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…

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 -
update MS teams channel alerting to send alerts to various channels and not just a single channel
Much like when using SMTP alerts, can you add the ability to specify an alternative channel for alerts sent from a specific server or group of servers.
for example, if I have 2 groups of severs,
- producion alerts to channel 1
- non-productions server alerts to channel 2the core issue is we have multiple "products" monitored (production and non-production) and
we don't want the noise from the first product to be visible to the second, or third products.Currenly we use email groups for this but with changes in O365 we are under pressure to stop using SMTP.

Export the list of SQL queries from waits
Can we please have the ability to export the SQL Queries from Top Queries/top waits.
This is to allow us to pinpoint remove queries that we wish to tune...for example Im only interested in queries that have been run over 1000 times with a logical read count on average being 2500....I think it would just be easier to do this from excel that way i can dice/slice the information up.1 vote -
Raise alerts based on backup size
I'd like to be able to detect if differential and log backups are becoming too large. This could indicate that a lot of changes have been occurring and perhaps we ought to run a full backup soon (or more frequent transaction log backups).
For one, if the size of the differential is greater than the size of the full. Meanwhile, transaction logs could be more of a "relative to the last X backups over the last Y amount of time".

Get notification for when a SQL Agent job is in a retry state
Hi, it would be really useful if SQL Monitor could identify when any currently executing job steps are in a retry state. We have many such jobs and the time lost whilst they are in such a state is frustarating as if we had notification we could take action. I appreciate I can roll my solution but would be nice if SQL Monitor could do it :)

Ability to export backup history detail for providing audit information easily.
possibilities I can think of that might help to add are each backup having it's own export button when the backup history graph is expanded out, including the backup history on the current excel sheet or possibly having a summary report for it in the Reports section

Make the alerting system AG Aware
Similar in nature to the Job Duration Unusual Alert should be AG aware - there are many alerts we do not want to see on an AG secondary unless it is set to readable - things like server waits due to queries running on master etc generate alerts when running against a base line but we dont need to get the alert/notification if the AG is set to secondary

Be able to send the SQL Audit data to a SIEM tool
The existing SQL Audit information in Redgate Monitor is an invaluable amount of security information which can be useful for Security professionals who use a SIEM tool such as SentinelOne. Currently Redgate Monitor allows us to export. It would be great to see this as a feature.
