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.

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.

  7. Change unable to connect error messages to include DNS issues

    Added a server via IP address as it's in a remote DC, test ran fine. After clicking Add to monitor the server, SQL Monitor resolved the IP to the cluster name, and attempted to add the 2 cluster servers via name (which is great, much easier to recognise servers via name than remember the IP), however SQL Monitor failed to connect, with WMI errors, RPC Server unavailable etc.
    These errors were misleading, as the real reason it wouldn't connect is that the server couldn't resolve the DNS names. Adding them to Hosts file sorted it straight away.
    Connecting should attempt…

  9. on the overview, monitored instances be able to choose which groups to show

    It is possible to choose one or all groups on the monitored instances overview. I would like to be able to select more than one group to show or deselect some groups that I do not want to see.

  10. see sessions from sys.dm_exec_requests in top 10 queries

    I never see commands like BACKUP DATABASE or ALTER INDEX in top 10 queries and got the message from support that the information is taken from sys.dmexecquerystats
    As it is now it is hard to track down where heavy I/O comes from if it is for example index maintenance or backup.
    I think RedGate should record all commands from sys.dm    exec_requests and join in the execution plans where they exist and other stats if needed

  12. export metrics data to csv (or table) with configurable granularity and option to get cumulative data

    The analysis page allows exporting data to csv for a certain metric, e.g., a database counter, but we cannot control the granularity nor whether data for all databases should be cumulative or not.

    I would like to get data with the granularity produced by the 15 minute time range, i.e. seconds, but for a larger date range and preferably cumulative for all databases or a set of databases.

  14. Add development machines without a license.

    You should be able to add development machines at no additional cost if you already have a production license. If you do not have a license for the development instance then the features can be scaled back to only allow you to view alerts.

  15. Correct Database file usage alerts with In-Memory/Filestream Filegroups

    The Database file usage alerts in V 8.2 are great, however they do not work correctly with Filestream filegroups. per https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/comment/153592 they are not supported.

    Please either add support for these filegroup types or disable them by default so we are not spammed by alerts for something that's not valid.

    Thanks,
    -Luke.

  16. Stop being nagged about maintenance windows - because they don't fit our operation

    We don't have regular maintenance windows. Getting a nagging remainder about setting maintenance windows every login is very annoying. I'm currently running SQL Monitor 8.0.16.15996.

    Yes, I know that this has been raised before but that particular question has been "closed".

  18. Remove dropped database from Configuration>Monitored servers

    I would like to be able to delete a database from Configuration>Monitored servers, if that database has been dropped from the monitored SQL server.
    As it stands now, if a database has been dropped, I have to remove it manually from the RedGateSQLMonitor database via script.

  19. Allow maximum number of email notifications in a 24-hour period alert to be sent to another email address

    Currently if too many alerts for a particular object are received an alert email is sent noting that no more emails will be sent. I want to be able to specify that email is sent to a different address than the default.

    For example, we may get a large number of deadlocks. after the first 150 the alert emails are silenced. We configure deadlock alerts go to our normal email address because generally they aren't urgent, however when 150 or more are received there is a definite problem that needs to be reviewed. That should go to our pager email…

  20. Be able to set an Alert to escalate when it has been active for a certain amount of time.

    I have a several different Jobs that fail periodically, once in a while is not a big problem but when they continue to fail over a period of time it does become a problem and I need to know. Likewise when I have an AG is slow to sync in the middle of the night when it is rebuilding all of the indexes of a 1.2TB database and syncing across to locations in 2 states I don't want to be paged, but if it is persistent through the day I do.
