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.


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.

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

  1. Understanding what caused the Diskspace alert

    When viewing a disk space alert, it would be very useful to view the disk space usage for the drive the alert is raised for?

    Ideally I'd like to to be able to get to the page: the Estate | Disk usage | [and filtered for the Specific Server: Drive:]

    I understand that on the detail page of the server, you can see the growth of the databases for the selected time period, but its not always db files that cause the alerts.

  2. Ignore failing jobs using regex

    the config for JOB DURATION UNUSUAL alerts allows the use of regex to filter the jobs to ignore.

    this functionality would be very useful for FAILING JOBS alerts

  3. Frequency of the customer metric

    It would be useful if we can specify frequency less than 1 minute in the custom metric. Because sometime we need to check any metrics more than once a minute.

  4. Automatic failover when GEO replication is set up for PaaS servers

    It would be great to have a feature to monitor automatic failover when GEO replication is set up between PaaS servers.

    It is quite useful information to understand if failover occurs.

    It would be a great feature to have SQL Monitor suggest efficiency recommendations the way that vRealize Ops Manager does, which is basically a tool you point at the environment and it shows you efficiency recommendations. Rather than having to perform time consuming manual analysis.

  6. Monitor individual CPU cores and not just avg CPU as a whole

    AVG CPU is not enough of an indication of how things are going - There could be an entire numa node maxed at 100% while other nodes are almost idle and it will drag the avg down.

    As per here: https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/comment/162141#Comment_162141

  8. Be able to give users different access to different groups

    I would like to be able to give some developers Read-only access level to some servers (or server group). For example Production servers.

    But give them Standard access level to other servers (or server group) so they can clear alerts for example and configure their own alerts.

  16. For Installed Version doesn't show the patching details of the active and passive node of FCI

    For Installed Version doesn't show the patching details of the passive node of FCI
    So if cluster has 3 nodes, you should one line for each
    this will be very helpful if we have missed out on patching inany node then the SQL Monitor can high light this to us
