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.

Configurable Thresholds Based on Time
The alerts would be more useful if we could apply maintenance or quiet periods to them.
I understand we have the maintenance window and that is perfect for things like planned downtime, index maintenance etc.
Regards,
CliveHowever, the issue I currently face is that I suppress the processor under utilised message. Like a prolonged spike in CPU activity, a massive drop off could be a concern too. However, I have a current mean of 18.6% on one example server. I can set a threshold of 15% as an example, but this would trigger alerts through the night when…

Globally enable/disable monitoring
We would like the ability to quickly turn off and on all monitoring and alerting globally. This would be usefull when we have major outage that we become aware of and start to work on, however alerts get generated very quickly and can overwhelm the email system or support phone. It would be great if we could continue to collect performance metrics but stop all alerts until the problem is resolved.

Webhook Filter on Alert Severtiy
Situation: After setting up a webhook of SQL Monitor to Service Now we are getting tickets of all priorities
Background: We would only like tickets to be created that are actionable
Assessment: We can enable this on the javascript side of the service now webhook to remove low priority webhook calls however it would be prefered to do it in RedGate
Recommendation: Is it possible to have the same feature that email has "Call webhooks only if alert severity is High or Medium only"
9 votesSupport for configuring the alert level at which Webhook notifications are sent was added in version 13.0.52.
In Configuration > Notification settings you can configure Webhook notifications to be sent for all levels of alerts, all high and medium alerts, or just high level alerts.

Receive an alert for the process that is blocking not the process being blocked.
We recently upgraded our SQL Monitor to version 5.1 and it appears there has been a change in the Blocking process metric. Before the upgrade we received an alert about a process that was blocking and after the upgrade it appears we receive an alert for each of the processes being blocked. We have set the threshold for 90 seconds and if there are three processes that are 30 seconds that total the 90 seconds, we receive an alert. However we don’t want to receive an alert for the 30 second blocked processes. Is there a way we can understand…

Allow custom scopes in OpenID Connect authorization request
Currently SQL Monitor only sends the scopes "openid profile".
In my usage the "groups" scope is needed as well.Make this parameter configurable to support any number of custom scopes.
3 votesYou can configure OpenID Connect scopes by running a script on your SQL Monitor repository. See Authenticating with OpenID Connect documentation (https://documentation.red-gate.com/sm11/adding-sql-monitor-users/authenticating-with-openid-connect) for more details.

Alert for full filegroup
if a database is a fixed size (max size set), or if the db is initially set to be the full size of a disk, there is no alert to let us know that the database is full.
for instance - if T: drive contains tempdb (and only tempdb) and we've sized it to take the whole drive. we've done funky sizing and growth settings so we can get an alert when the db grows, but once its grown and the temp objects are cleared, we're unlikely to get another disk warning, because the DB will already be taking 100%…

SQL Versions Page
Hi there,
We maintain a number of legacy SQL Servers that are still monitored via SQL Monitor. I regularly use the SQL Versions page to identify which instances require patching.
However, some of these servers are under a permanent patch freeze, and I’d like to update their status to “OK” so they no longer appear as needing attention.
It would be amazing if one could update the patch status for these servers within Redgate to mark them as compliant to reflect their frozen state.

Be able to see in the overviews panel how much RAM my monitored instances are consuming just like I can see CPU and Disk IO for example.
I want to monitor how much RAM my instances are consuming while I'm in the overviews panel and even though I can go to a specific panel for checking this specific counter it'd be useful to havr it in the single overviews panel and not moving back and forth.

Allow customisation of query execution threshold for Individual query monitoring
Individual query monitoring is currently either only catching or possible only displaying queries longer then 5 seconds. Should be great if it was possible to customise this threshold.
8 votesThe ability to customise the threshold for capturing individual query executions was added in version 14.6.0.
To configure, simply go to Settings > Additional monitoring settings. Here you can enable/disable and select a threshold between 1-5 seconds for each of the instances being monitored.

Add CPU time to Individual query monitoring
Should be great if we can get CPU time column added to the new Query executions tab.
CPU time is in addition to logical reads/writes important when looking and performance of the different queries.

Want Estate page to report patch correctly for GDR only instances.
In the SQL Server versions page under Estate, Redgate Monitor checks for the “Latest available update” for each SQL instance. It compares the instance level with the latest patch released on the CU-path for the instance version and sets the Status column as appropriate, flagging where a patch is missing, be that CU or CU+GDR.
I would like an option to set specific SQL instances to be on the GDR-only pathway and have Redgate Monitor check and provide accurate last GDR patch and status detail for those too.
Without this change, GDR-path instances can show as "update needed" (yellow) in…

Attach Custom Documentation To Alerts
I'd like to be able to customize things like an alert that job X has failed with a link to our own documentation on how to troubleshoot that job. It would be even better if these links could carry forwards into the slack notifications but even just having them on the alert page in SQL monitor for that particular alert would be immensely useful.

Missing database name in blocking session alert
When I receive an alert about a blocking session, it does not tell me the database. The mail starts with e.g.
Blocking Session ID: 93
Number of blocked descendants: 1
Total blocking duration for all descendants: 00:03:02
Blocking SQL fragment: CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo]...In the subsequent blocks (blocked sessions) it shows the corresponding database name, but only after much of scrolling, when the block cames from a long procedure (some with > 1000 lines).
So please add the database name to the blocking session part too.
5 votesThanks for the suggestion. Version 7.1.3 has now been released and improvements include adding the database name to the Blocking process alert.
Kind regards,

Baseline WaitStats
SQL Monitor contains an aggregated baseline of wait stats, however there is no way to tell if the current wait stats are "normal" for my environment. For example, we had a problem where LCKMX went through the roof, and as a consequence HADRSYNCCOMMIT plummeted because there was fewer insert/updates/deletes happening. The net difference suggested that there was no problem, but there was.
I'd like to see something that shows what's "normal" for each wait type, and what the recorded value is.

Get the proc name from a deadlock alert
The Alert gives objectId and databaseid but your average 'accidental DBA' doesn't know the command
select OBJECTNAME ( objectid [, database_id ] )
Perhaps somehow suggesting the command as context sensitive help?30 votes -
see username and hostname in "top 50 queries" and "top 10 waits"
In SQL Monitor, I want to see username and hostname in "top 50 queries" and "top 10 waits"
Please add username and hostname in "top 50 queries" and "top 10 waits." These two columns will be useful to trouble shoot SQLs that are causing troubles
