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.

Export/Import Report configurations
I'm using RedGate SQL server with different clients. Since the environments are not connected I have to manually create Report configurations for each client which takes quite some time. Also, any change to the Report configurations has to be then deployed by cilcking. Some export to XML or something similar and import wia PowerShell API would be nice.

Overlay Alerts on the Analysis page
Please add overlay alerts and annotations on the Analysis page. This would simplify the analysis and finding correlations.

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.

Save metrics used on Analysis page and enable quick way to select them from GUI
I find myself selecting the same SQL metrics when monitoring or analyzing issues.
It would be nice if I could save metrics and settings for them and next time just select them from the drop-down.19 votes -

Have filter on failed SQL Server logins alert
I would like to edit the Failed SQL Server logins alert to exclude failed logins from a value like a host/IP address. We have our security guys trying to break in our SQL servers daily and it trips the failed SQL Server logins alert all the time and over alerts us.

Integrate query store with monitor to find regressed queries
Query store already tracks regressed queries. Integrating this into the monitor and having the ability to alert on this would be extremely useful in having early notifications on when a query goes bad before application or system issues come up

Have ability to configure alerts to be active for various periods.
I have multiple alerts (including custom alerts) on serves. I would like to configure alerts to have different thresholds for diffident periods (weekday/ weekend) OR (mornings / evenings ) OR other periods.
Like log sizes on weekends (mostly due to index maintenance) can be much higher than weekdays.
Current "alert suppression windows " applies to a host and to all alerts on it and not to specific list of alerts.

sql estate email out option
It would be great if you could set up an email routine to email out reports from the Estate tab. E.g. the backups tab would be useful to email out an export of the screen.

Add filtering to the Top 10 Queries/Waits lists
So first, this is a request for more general filtering than the 2 requests I see already exist for filtering by database (which I believe you can get to by clicking the database name further down the page, but would certainly be more convenient on the top 10 lists directly).
The primary use case that I was looking to do but couldn't was sort by averages, but set a minimum execution count. The goal being to find my worst queries that are not just one off things that aren't likely to be repeated. I think there would be a LOT…

Have the option to capture parameters from queries
Presumably this would require having the trace enabled and you wouldn't necessarily want to be capturing every parameter on every query so there probably needs to be some logic around choosing what to keep. This would obviously help track down parameter sniffing problems along with other troubleshooting of the exact scenario you are trying to look at.
This is different from the suggestion listed here:
https://sqlmonitor.uservoice.com/forums/91743-suggestions/suggestions/41237467-display-parameter-list-in-the-query-plan-form(And that one should also be implemented and would be a valuable time saver)

network adapter name on overview page
Currently network adapters' interface description is shown on the overview page of a monitored server. i am not interested of that information really, I would see the net adapter name as Get-NetAdapter cmdlet returns. So, Name should be there instead of the description.

ERRORLOG tab on Alerts
When we are viewing an alert, it would be nice to have a view into the ERRORLOG at that point in time. If we could have the option of adding an ERRORLOG tab under the Performance Data section on each alert, that would be handy.

Add a Description field in the Databases section
Dashboard, drill down to the Databases Screen. In that section, there are currently 4 fields or columns - Name, Availability, Transactions/sec, Database size. Will it be possible to add another string field to store a high level description of the database; this will be really useful for our users. Can the new field comes after the name, be 200-300 characters in length and can be a pop-up if a mouse pointer hovers over it. Many thanks.

Easily identify which base monitor is hosting a monitored SQL Server host
In a multi-base monitor configuration it is a bit cumbersome to identify which base monitor is hosting a given entry on the overview page. Yes, one can search all the SQL Server host machines on each base host, but that takes time. It would be better to have an entry in overviews that identifies where it is hosted.
