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.

Improvements to Alert Notifications when you have multiple alert thresholds
You can configure alerts in Regdate Monitor to have different thresholds (low, medium, high). The problem is that all notifications have to go to the same email address(es).
We'd suggest an improvement to allow diffent notification methods for each level. For examples, send low alerts go to one email address and medium/high go to a different email address.
This would allow us to send the more critical alerts via OpsGenie/Jira.

Alerts with and/or (boolean) logic
To determine performance problem b it is needed to monitor several counter values at once. For example when counter x and counter y and counter z are all below 10 then you have a memory problem. I would be nice to contruct that kind of logic to get true performance alerts.

Traceflag 1222 for deadlocks
Use traceflag 1222 for deadlocks when monitoring SQL 2005+, and keep 1204 just for SQL 2000 instances. 1222 gives so much more information and doesn't cut off the SQL text.

Add multiple actions for alerts based on different conditions
It would be nice to be able to configure different actions for the same alert based on different criteria.
For example, with the SQL Job failure alert - It would be very useful to be able to have these alerts go to X email address if the job contains "DBA" in the job name, and the alert go to Y email address if the job doesn't contain that text in the job name (This is just a basic example, being able to configure multiple of these types of filters would be the goal).
Right now the only possible…

Pause auto-refresh when you view query recommendations.
When a user clicks on query recommendations, the auto-refresh needs to be paused. Otherwise, the recommendation pop-up window closes when Monitor refreshes.

OpenID Connect client certificate or LDAPS
My company does not support OpenID "only client secret" and requests that Redgate Monitor use Client Certificate when authenticating users with Entra. Can you implement Client Certificate Support? Alternatively, how about to expand LDAP implementation to utilize SSL?

Make cookie timeout duration configurable
Currently Cookies expire after 2 days, this means you have to re-enter your password for SQL Monitor every two days. This should be configurable. Some of us have adequate desktop security, and secure external access that this is unnecessary.

Filter for VMWare virtual machine list under Manage VMWare hosts
Add a filter in the vmware host to list only monitored servers. On and off checkbox would be enough.

add SSO option to the AD/LDAP logon screen
Attached file is from an application we use that allows the user to quickly logon as themselves, or to manually enter network credentials. In addition, the attached file shows a logon screen with the application version number; this too would be helpful for Redgate Monitor without having to login and check the configuration info page.

Find Queries / Stored Procs whose Performance has Decreased Over Time
In preparation for changing the database compatibility level for our primary database to 2014, we would like to see which queries and stored procedures are performing poorly after the switch is made in the staging environment. While I can do this to a limited extent by looking at top queries in Red Gate Monitoring, I was wondering if there was an automated way to alert on this. For example, alert on any stored procedures / queries that appear in the top 100 costliest queries by duration / CPU usage, whose average duration / CPU usage has more than doubled…

Enable changing Alert levels on Clock Skew alerts
I would like to be able to change the alert level from high to medium or even low.
It would be nice if the alert level would be set depending on the skew size, so that for example low level could mean 5 second, medium at 10 seconds and high at 30 seconds.I would like to do this, since we receive the alert occasionally from our test server (is gets cleared rather quickly so it is no big issue for us).
7 votesThanks for this suggestion. Apologies for not updating at the time, but this suggestion was completed in version 8.0.10 in July 2018.
We will mark this as completed but please do let us know if you have any further feedback.
Kind regards,

Have the RG tempdb table indexed
The RGAllObjectsv4 table in tempdb currently accounts for 7 of the top 20 missing index suggestions on our production server via the built-in report in SSMS. Can this be indexed by RG so that the indexes will be reapplied when the server or service is restarted? I've attached the list of suggestions.

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,

be able to report on deadlocks
Add the possibility to report on deadlocks. The information is stored in the database as an alert but it's currently not possible to report on alerts.
I'd like to see the occurrence of deadlocks over time, per database,...

Restrict the read only role to only the "Overview" page.
I've explored using Read Only views for SQL Monitor and they work great, while really parring down the amount of information that the user can see. However, is there are way to lock it down even further so that they can only see the homescreen with the colored status on the specified SQL Instances? Essentially only allowing them to see status without drilling down into the instance itself and viewing waits, disk, CPU etc.
This could be used by management, etc.

Recognize Low Alerts visually in overview
Low Alerts show as blue dots on the Latest Alerts panel, but in the overview they show Green like Healthy.
Especially when showing Small Tiles (we monitor 60+ instances) they do not stand out from Healty ones (see the attached examples).For that reason I dont use many Low Alerts.
It would be more consistent to use blue in the overviews also.4 votes -
Database File Usage Alert - Autogrowth
Database File Usage Alert : Please consider autogrowth! So far, this alert is of no help.
3 votesSQL Monitor v7.1.18 added an option to disable database file usage alerts when autogrowth is enabled. The setting can be found on the configuration screen for the database file usage alert.
Thanks for helping us improve this feature with your suggestion.

File Usage per File Group within the DB
Want to be able to set database file usage per drive level on the server level. But there are many times when a vendor created db, they have multiple data files mdf/ndf and have them set to limits. So i was wondering can we get even more granular. I want to be able to drill down to the database and select a particular file group and say ignore this drive, it has meet its capascity and even though its 100% filled data is no longer being written there. And the reason behind that is there can be multiple data files…
