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.

Add ability to search Server Log
I would like the ability to search the error log or at least filter out some alerts. For example, we get about 45 "Log has been backed up" log entries every 15 minutes. It's very hard to actually find things on redgate without having to login to the SQL server and filter there.

Displaying the actual names of the disks and not just the Volume Number for the Disk space alert
In SQL Monitor when you are using the disk space alert in conjunction with multiple volumes on different mountpoints SQL Monitor tends to display just the HardDisk Volume number in the alert, this is extremely unhelpful as it means you have to log on to the physical server, launch diskmgmt.msc and match the disk thats alerting to take any action. Is it possible to just display the mount point name as opposed to the Disk Volume Number? This would be extremely helpful and would give a wealth of information instantly.

be be able to send alerts to multiple Slack channels
At present I can only use one Slack channel for SQL Monitor. I'd like to be able to specify a channel per alert - for example I have a custom alert and it would be good to be able to send a message to a designated Slack channel

Analysis Graph Tab
This is about the Statistics for the Disk avg. read and write metrics.
There are times when based on the results for a server the statistics are presented in seconds. More often than not it will be 0.0, 0.2 sec, etc.
This is not very helpful, and I often find myself having to download the Export (csv) and get the average.It would be much more beneficial to just show all results in milliseconds, or present an option to the end user of seeing ms or seconds.
Thank you

Remove a user/group from SQL Monitor

Tag alerts for reporting
I would love to be able to create custom tags for alerts so I can later report on them. For example, we have process that run regularly that causes blocking sessions here and there. I would love to be able to add multiple tags to an alert that later I can run reports to see if those process have a regular pattern of interrupting business.

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.

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.

I would like to give aliases to queries for easy recognition
I would like to be able to give an alias for a query text and have that alias show up on the top 10 list.
This to enable easy recognition of "known offenders". We have a lot of queries that are almost identical and drilling into each of them to check the where clauses to determine the actual query is getting tiresome.

Monitor for unavailable disks
I'd like to see SQL monitor check for disks that were previously available but are no longer. Example: I have a machine were a disk is online, something goes wrong and the disk goes offline. I would like SQL monitor to alert me to this. If the disk contains database files I would get a database unavailable alert, however if it is a drive that holds backups there would be no notification until the backups start failing.
This would have to be setup differently for clusters where a disk may exist on any node in the cluster due to failovers.

scroll through the overview graph and zoom in/out
It would be a lot easier if we could scroll through the overview graph and zoom in/out. For instance, on Monday morning I need to inspect a long (2 to 3 day) ETL job with 4 main parts. Currently I have to select the last timestamp I like to see in the graph and then select "Last 2 days". Then I can drag the sliders to highlight the area I want to investigate.
It would be easier to click the graph and drag it left/right and use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out

be able to show basic SSIS monitoring graphs/sparklines on the overview page (Buffers spooled, Buffers in memory, rows read,...).
There is currently no SSIS monitoring in SQL Monitor. You can add custom metrics for performance counters available through SSISDB but these can only be seen on the Analysis page and only after you have selected all of them.
It would be nice to be able to select SSIS as an option for a server and then see these counters as graphs/sparklines on the overview page.
