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.

Separate notification option for both Medium and High Severity alerts
It would be better to have Separate notification options for both Medium and High Severity alerts instead of a single distribution for both Medium and High severity alerts so that separate group get notifications depending on the severity of the alert.

Report showing least or busiest server.
I would like a report that uses the historical data collected by SQL Monitor that would show the least busy or busiest servers so that I will be able to plan where to put additional workload, or re-distribute work load.

Show Compressed Backup size on Estate > Backups Screen
Currently the backup size displayed on the Estate > Backup screen is the uncompressed backup size which is useful but it would also be useful to include the compressed backup size because that's going to be the raw file size on disk when backup compression is enabled.
Knowing the compressed backup size is pretty useful when trying to assess how big a backup will be on disk.

Change Overviews to Overview
The "Overviews" menu item is grammatically incorrect. The menu item should be spelled "Overview". "Overviews" is most commonly used as a verb. The plural noun form is relatively uncommon and would refer to a general review or summary of multiple, distinct subject areas.

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 -
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication for login screen
MFA is rapidly becoming a security standard. Redgate provides a map of the entire companies estate - which would be interesting to an attacker, it would be good if security could be tightened on that login process.

Different email addresses for different thresholds
Although you can specify different thresholds for High, Medium and Low alerts, they all end up at the same email address or slack channel. It would be useful to be able to change this so highs went to one address, mediums to another etc.

Indicator that an active backup is ongoing on card
Have some kind of indicator an active backup/restore header is ongoing, card or icon pulsating, shaded etc. This is handy to see at a glance if too many backups are going at once.

Maintain Base Monitor Service Account between upgrades
Everytime you upgrade the base monitor (every 2 weeks), the service account that is configured to run the service gets reset to "Local System".
We have setup our system to run as a domain user to changing this everytime is painful.
The installer should respect the current user when upgrading.

I would like to do some custom filters of 'Alerts raised or updated in the last:'.
I would like to do some custom filters of 'Alerts raised or updated in the last:'. AND also be able to do range filters for them eg 2am to 6pm.
We are 24/7 DBAs at a big bank in South Africa and we want to be able to see whats alerts came through our individual shifts.

Add the ability to report/analyize Index fragmentation
I would love to see the ability to see the Index Fragmention results in the report/anayize feature. I have been fighting index fragmention but cant really tell how much it has improved.

Command Line Install
I'd like command line installation to be an available option for SQL Monitor as I want to automate and script it, rather than having to do it manually

It would be nice to have an audit trail of changes in SQL Monitor. For example, if an alert is changed, a new instances is added/removed, or users are added or removed.

Monitor database total space usage not by individual data files.
I have many databases that we are monitoring for space which have multiple datafiles. Usually most the datafiles are full but at least 1 of the files is able to autogrow. Sometimes autogrow has reached its max limitation and sometimes we have turned it off once the file reached the largest size we will allow it. Our goal is to monitor so the database does not run out of space. We currently get alerts for the files that are full, we know some are full, we aren't worried about them, we still have 1 or 2 files we allow to…

Configure Different Emails for alert levels
Allow for customization of emails for alerts at each alert level, so that I can send to different emails for each alert level.
So that I can send High alerts to one email address, medium alerts to another email address, etc…

see Lock Escalations/sec as available metric in analysis graph
The customizable analysis graph does not include the option to display Lock Escalations/Sec (\SQLServer:Access Methods\Table Lock Escalations/sec). I like to compare this to baseline to regression-test releases. In conjunction with waits\locks, it can also warn the user that an index is no longer being used (as would happen if Entity Framework began searching a varchar column for an nvarchar value).
