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.


In Redgate Monitor, I want to...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. Just like you can configure multiple alert thresholds for: JOB DURATION UNUSUAL ALERT you should be able to do so for: JOB FAILING ALERT

    This would allow notifications for failed jobs to be sent to different functional recipient(s) (e.g. Dev vs. Support vs. Ops teams) based on key words and other criteria.

  2. In reports display results of a query from our own data (multiple columns)

    We have a table in our administration database that contains usefull information for our management. This consists of multiple columns. It would be very helpfull to run a query in a tile in a report where the results of that query can be displayed. A bit like the long running query results in the reports but then with our own data from the administration database.

  4. Exclude tempdb/ReportServerTempDB from Alerts at a GLOBAL level, WITH EASE

    It makes no sense for there to be Alert configuration settings for tempdb for Consistency Checks, Backups, and any other irrelevance.

    If the ONLY reason for the existence of SSRS databases is because of Microsoft's idiotic requirement for SSRS to actually be configured in 2014 before permitting an in-place upgrade to 2016, there is no ACTUAL reason why one would care two hoots about the state of either SSRS DB on ANY instance affected by this "demand". OK, I have just 21 instances to drill down to SHUT UP ABOUT SSRS DATABASES!

    Please provide a better way to manage SYSTEM…

  6. Total data file size/used metrics - add filegroup level

    CONTEXT: We have some databases with multiple filegroups, I’d be useful to be able to drill down from the DB level to the FG level on the “Total data file size” and “Total data file used” metrics.

    PROBLEM: Not being able to slice totals by FG is problematic, since different FGs often have different capacity / performance requirements, different space used speed/patterns etc.

    EXAMPLE SOLUTION: For “Total data file size” and “Total data file used” add an additional selector window after the database selector: a list of filegroups + an (All) option at the top. So, the selectors would be:…

  7. Customise Email Settings For Each Alert Setting

    It would be great if you could have an override on each alert to allow for a customised email setting just for that alert.
    Currently an alert can have a different email address BUT it only uses the default settings, if I wanted to fine tune for that alert I can't.
    Thanks, Steve

  8. Retain user last selection and update current default time options to be more flexible

    On the Overviews of an instance Server/Host Metrics the default selections are always the last 24 hours as well as having all 4 boxes ( CPU, Memory, Disk I/o and Waits) select.

    I am constantly having to uncheck the Memory box and most individuals look at the last 6 hours or would prefer ( 1 or 3 hours) and have to change from the default last 24 hours to last 6 hours each time navigating to this page. I would like to be able to have SQL Monitor remember my last setting(s) or at least be able to change the…

  9. Long Running Query Alert - Update Process Fragment Info for Agent Jobs with SSIS Packages

    One of the most common alerts that we get is the Long Running Query alert. However, when the query is due to a package executing from an agent job, there is little to no information about what is running long. The attached image is an excerpt from one of the alerts we got this morning. We can tell it is from an executing job, because of the SSISDB database specified. But beyond that, we are left trying to figure out which job/package was the culprit by digging through execution logs and schedules, then trying to match execution lengths with where…

  10. Dark Theme!

    Would love to be able to have a Dark theme for the UI.

    We use a number of other tools where this is an option and really appreciate the saving of the eyes from the sea of white/ other bright colours.

  11. open alert link in new tab or window

    When viewing an alert within the side-bar on the Overview page, clicking on the 'Go to the full details' arrow redirects the page to the intended alert. You have to then click back to see the overview page again.

    It would be great for the ability to be able to open click through links on a new tab or window instead of the same window to prevent navigating away from the overview page.

  12. Share alerts via Email

    The ability to share alerts details via Email from the "Alert Details" page.

    Sometimes we don't want to share a direct link to the monitor.

    E.G
    Click "share" which will open a mailto: with the relevant alert details.

  16. Exclude offline databases from backup alerts

    Exclude all offline data bases from the overdue backup alert as we do not have a need to backup an offline data base. For us if a data base is taken offline it's most likely because its been migrated to another server or no longer needed and will eventually be deleted.

  18. Add Single Sign-On (SSO).

    We would love to have Single Sign-On added so we can use CAS for authentication. This feature would really help make things easier even more so then LDAP/NTLM even... I know I been on a support ticket for weeks to have a "work around" be the answer.

  19. Offer SQL Monitor as a Saas model

    Would be great to offer sql monitor on a Saas model. $50 per server per month for example.
    Purchasing software upfront is expensive for small/medium companies. This also offers more flexibility to add and remove licenses in line with how companies add and remove new servers.
