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 — often the SQL Monitor team will initially stay quiet about new suggestions to see what you have to say!
If you have any questions visit the Redgate Monitor forum.

Permission granularity on server/cluster objects
It would be great to assign a set of users in a security group a read only or any other access to a particular cluster node instead of the full cluster. It is a managed environment with shared responsibilities, so it is essential to have this granularity in permission management.

Add other Red Gate tools to SQL Monitor as licensed modules
It would be useful if the following tools were additional modules that could be added to the web interface to SQL Monitor;
SQL Backup Pro
Index ManagerFor example, upon receiving a no database/log backup alert it would be great to just click into another section of SQL Monitor to then diagnose/fix the issue rather than using an external application. Additionally the capability within Index Manager would sit well in SQL Monitor as a logical extension for the fragmented index alert.
This would allow SQL Monitor to be the primary place that a DBA would need to go in order…

Analysis Thresholds
One of the things I like about the free PAL tool, is that you can specify thresholds for each performance counter. Therefore, you can have a customizable red line which appears on your graph to easily tell you if your disk latencies are over 25ms or your free memory is less than 5% - for example.
I would like to see something similar on the Analysis screen on SQL Monitor. I would like to specify for each machine, SQL Server or Custom metric a warning threshold and a critical threshold. This makes it easier to troubleshoot performance issues as you…11 votes -
Filter alerts by Comment
Add back in the filter options, the filter on Have/Doesn't have Comment.
Add the possibility to search by comment.Wold be great if there was some sort of "Tags" that you can apply to an alert and to filter based on those tags.

Access rights on database level
CONTEXT: We want to give our developers access rights to there databases alerts (long running queries, blocking processes, deadlocks ...).
PROBLEM: Access rights are only allowed on sql server instance level. Database1 should only see dev team1, database2 should only see dev team2. This is not possible at the moment.

Force re-check of index fragmentation alert
The index fragmentation alert is checked only once per week, because of the load is causes on the system. I am fine with that.
However, I would like to have the option to force an immediate re-check for a specific database - for instance by adding a "re-check" button to the alert window.SCENARIO: The index fragmentation check runs on Saturday and triggers an alert on one database. On Monday I check the alert but I know that the weekly index defragmentation job runs on Sunday, so it is likely that the problem is already fixed. But I like to…

Filter out Long Running Query alerts based on wait type
We have a 3rd party product that has a SQL Database. It has something in it that loads data RBAR (Row-By-Agonising-Row). The query gets all the data in about 3 seconds and then sits waiting on ASYNCNETWORKIO for ages (close to 40 minutes).
We don't want to exclude the application from all long running query alerts, and the query is different everytime which would make it hard to filter based on regex (and not filter other queries we care about).
We'd like a way that we can not raise a long running query alert if it's waiting on…

add more custom notifications
Execute HTTP Action :
This notification method executes a GET request or sends any POST, PUT, or PATCH data to a custom URL. You can execute specific actions on a web server or control any web service that accepts commands via one-time HTTP requests. Whenever a notification of this kind is triggered, the HTTP action is sent.Execute Program:
With this notification method, you can execute a script or a program as an external process. It can be a Windows executable file or a BAT, CMD, or PowerShell file. You can use EXE, COM, BAT, CMD, VBS, or PS1 files.

Be able to run a query (or powershell) in response to an alert
Be able to run a query (or powershell) in response to an alert.
This would automate some responses, but also want to be able to send the RESULT of a script in the email that goes out, ie Alert to say Schema changes have been made where the email actually includes the schema changes.11 votes -

Activity monitoring for DDL & DML
Add an element that will track all DML/DDL activity within a SQL Server instance and log this to a tamper proof archive. If linked to performance trends this can corrolate performance to T-SQL executed against the instance.
This has scope for aiding with Compliance with PCI-DSS & SoX.

Option to filter(replace) sensitive SQL from alerts displayed/recorded

New tile types in reporting
We would like new tile types in the reporting interface. Extend the Analysis graph and summary. We would like some of KPI \ traffic light or the ability to just show a single value but be able to colour the background of the tile.
As well as the analysis graph it would be useful to be able to have a bar\column chart as well as the existing line chart.

Customize the Alert page Columns
Due to the lack of any useful actual time-zone date-time presentation in the UI (I still have issues because of the SEVEN I have to deal with), kindly allow us to add columns to the Alerts page.
Specifically, I MUST HAVE the Group designation. This is the way I group by time-zone. When looking down the All Servers list, because there are always alerts across all the zones, having the "time-zone" right before the "Object" makes handling the busy list much easier than having to wait for each node's page to render, especially as the Alert Page performance has been…

Search SQL Monitor Long Running Query Alerts By User Running Query
It would be very useful to search the Long Running Query alerts for a user? The alert text that is displayed in the GUI and in the alert emails list the user running the query. I have Monitor set up to only send the alert emails for my HIGH category. But, when I want to do analysis or documentation, I would love to find all of the alerts Low, Med or High, that are attributed to a specific user or a group of users. Is that possible? To filter the list in the UI to only show alerts from a…

export metrics data to csv (or table) with configurable granularity and option to get cumulative data
The analysis page allows exporting data to csv for a certain metric, e.g., a database counter, but we cannot control the granularity nor whether data for all databases should be cumulative or not.
I would like to get data with the granularity produced by the 15 minute time range, i.e. seconds, but for a larger date range and preferably cumulative for all databases or a set of databases.
