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.

Allow nested groups on the Overview screen
I have a structure of groups where the first level is environment (Production, Test, Development, etc) but then I have component as a second level (ETL, Application, Data QA, Sandbox). On the Overview screen, only the first level of the grouping is used, and therefore I have servers under 'Production' all bundled together and ordered by name across all the secondary groups. Would be good if the overview screen could show multiple groups somehow ... I understand there might be servers under the first level and the second level, and it might be weird for some customers ... but for…

Looking at the information recorded for top 10 queries I cant see a recorded date as to when query ran. Is it recoded somewhere if so how can i see it . If it is not why not. trying to track down who ran a query is very hard without a timestamp or username as to who ran it

SQL Agents Job Display Time Windows that Jobs are executing
The SQL Agent Jobs screen is a great way to track all jobs across all monitored servers. I think it would be helpful to see the gaps of time that no job is running to help determine maintenance windows and also make sure that the jobs are properly spaced out.

Monitor Distributed Availability Group Metrics
Monitor Distributed Availability Group Metrics, currently there doesn't appear to be any metrics tied to distributed AG. Could be as simple as using the monitoring query her:

I use SQL Monitor every day and use the failure reports for SQL Agent jobs, it is most useful. However, when there is an issue with an SSIS package that is automated via SQL Agent I have to leave SQL Monitor and go to SSMS. It would be really handy if SQL Monitor could read the SSIS errors. Is this something that is in the road map or could be put in please? Thanks.

Show/Hide metrics on Analysis page
Please add an option to show/hide selected metrics on the Analysis page. Something similar to the Reports graph would do.

Collecting custom metrics for multiple databases at the same time
ATM, a custom metric can return one value, but sometimes collecting the metric for one database takes the same amount of time as collecting it for all of the databases.
Having a multi-database metric (maybe something that returns a database id -> value map (as a two col table)) would be especially useful if it takes a long time to collect the metric (in my case it takes nearly 30 secs to collect it).

Develop SQL Server Agent Job Status Alert
Add a new SQL Server Agent alert to monitor the status of a job. The ability to alert when a job is running longer than a specified time or has not run within a specified time. The current alert will only notify you after the job has stopped. This does not help when a job is hung.

Raise Free Space alerts on disks that are mounted, rather than simply drive letters/volumes
In our clustered environments, instances are given a small drive for mounting the larger data/log/etc volumes within them.
Whilst we always get a "disk full" warning on the mountpoint drives (subsequently disabled), there appears to be no ability to monitor the volumes that are mounted within, where we do care about free space.
I do see that metrics for IO, latency etc are done on a per volume (not drive letter) basis, so would be great if we could have consistency.12 votes -
Alerts to be automatically marked as cleared after 'X' days
Have an option so alerts can be automatically marked as cleared after a variable amount of days.
This would prevent us from manually clearing them down.12 votes -
Identify which Virtual Host a server is on
In our environment we have a number of different virtual hosts and clusters on which our servers are hosted. It would be quite useful if the SQL server summary information showed the name of the host and cluster on which it is being hosted. As well if host and cluster name could be displayed somehow on the analysis graphs that would be great.

Filter for VMWare virtual machine list under Manage VMWare hosts
Add a filter in the vmware host to list only monitored servers. On and off checkbox would be enough.

Limited Estate functionality for unlicensed server
I would like to have very very basic estate functionality for servers without a Monitor license (I'm thinking Express instances on developer's station, sandbox instance without any real databases, etc.).
It would only be to keep visibility on them, so that we don't need to keep an inventory in a separate source. If the edition and version could be included that would be even better but of course nothing about disk usage / backups / jobs, etc.
I realize that this is essentially asking for something for free but I would venture that keeping visibility on all instances might lead…

Show Job name instead of ID in query related alerts
This is a follow-up on: https://sqlmonitor.uservoice.com/forums/91743-suggestions/suggestions/1865305-show-job-name-not-job-id-value-for-job-related-ale
The job ID was replaced by the job name in Job Failing, Job Duration, Job Cancelled alerts but I would like to see the same for query related alerts, specifically Long-Running query but the comments in the other item also mention Block Process and Deadlocks.

Backup overdue alert - RegEx filter
I have many non-production databases on production SQL Instance, that make no sense to backup. I know I can turn this alert off one by one on each database. RegEx filter by database name would be help.

silence alerts for x hours
If an alert is firing repetitively for say a job failure, to be able to silence the alert for a number of specified hours (not permanently) if you know it will recover later, but you don't want to disable the job - just want the alerts to stop temporarily

Separate notification option for both Medium and High Severity alerts
It would be better to have Separate notification options for both Medium and High Severity alerts instead of a single distribution for both Medium and High severity alerts so that separate group get notifications depending on the severity of the alert.

Database name "like" filter for "Database Unavailable" alert
In our environment we have several systems (3rd party ETL/reporting packages) that create and drop databases as part of their normal operation.
Would be good if the "Database Unavailable" alert allowed configuring to ignore drops of database names either matching a "LIKE" filter or perhaps more advanced a regex filter.
