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.

data purging - add a flush/reset button
it would be nice to have the possibility to clean/empty all data from sql monitor. for instance since we were trying different alert options etc... there's a lot of stuff which are not needed anymore. i mean after fine tuning the system i'd like to "start over" with a clean history even if we lose the old logs...

View the name of the responsible Query or Job in Teams notification,
View the name of the responsible Query or Job in Teams notification, The Microsoft Teams notifications are great. good way of being notified if something is wrong. This could be improved by providing the name of the long running query or name of job that is blocking. the View in Redgate Monitor button does not help when just on phone. it's great when your in the office. but if your monitoring out of hours.

Index Analysis -- Index Object Filtering
Index Object Filtering -- Ability to Exclude Objects.
It would be nice to be able to exclude the RedGate indexes, or exclude specific databases, or other specific objects. Currently, filtering is more inclusion based but frequently exclusion is easier.

have more flexibility with user permissions.
I'd like to be able to customize permissions. For instance, I would like an AD group to have the ability to set and remove alert suppressions (operational) but not have admin access to the monitor (administrative).

Add option for more detailed email alert
It would be good if there were more detail levels of mail alerts.
Example: I would like to see not only block process, but also which database and object; In case of failover, I would like to see both nodes failed and active ....31 votesSQL Monitor V 3.3. has now released. This release contains improved subject lines and message bodies of alert emails to help you quickly understand problems before logging in to SQL Monitor.

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.

Delay "Performance Data" Load for MOST Alerts
For at least 99% of Alerts of Interest over the last 6 YEARS of using SQL Monitor, the lower pane's "Performance Data" is of nigh on zero use.
IF it might be of use, give us a "Load..." button next to that heading, and load it on demand.
When I'm ploughing through a hundred or so predominantly Blocking Process and Deadlock alerts, the most important information is in the Details and Processes tabs.
Page loading delays will decrease because you won't have to pull eye-candy charts that aren't read for the bulk of the time.
The "Delay..." option, for…

update MS teams channel alerting to send alerts to various channels and not just a single channel
Much like when using SMTP alerts, can you add the ability to specify an alternative channel for alerts sent from a specific server or group of servers.
for example, if I have 2 groups of severs,
- producion alerts to channel 1
- non-productions server alerts to channel 2the core issue is we have multiple "products" monitored (production and non-production) and
we don't want the noise from the first product to be visible to the second, or third products.Currenly we use email groups for this but with changes in O365 we are under pressure to stop…

I would like to see a better dashboard view
One where I can see a cumulative report of ALL of the instances being monitored with average totals for cpu/memory/disks utilization, across them all. Average success to failure ratios for Scheduled jobs (backups).
27 votesWe implemented a new global dashboard in the 5.2 release, which shows an overview of all instances on one screen.

open alert link in new tab or window
When viewing an alert within the side-bar on the Overview page, clicking on the 'Go to the full details' arrow redirects the page to the intended alert. You have to then click back to see the overview page again.
It would be great for the ability to be able to open click through links on a new tab or window instead of the same window to prevent navigating away from the overview page.

Report average page life expectancy
The "page life expectancy" performance counter can be a good indicator of an impending performance problem. It's in the "Buffer Manager" performance object.

Force re-check of index fragmentation alert
The index fragmentation alert is checked only once per week, because of the load is causes on the system. I am fine with that.
However, I would like to have the option to force an immediate re-check for a specific database - for instance by adding a "re-check" button to the alert window.SCENARIO: The index fragmentation check runs on Saturday and triggers an alert on one database. On Monday I check the alert but I know that the weekly index defragmentation job runs on Sunday, so it is likely that the problem is already fixed. But I like to…

How about a custom metric or alert to return data in character value as opposed to just numeric scalar or NULL
I want to have a function much like profiler to collect login data, who logged on & be able to filter on the data collection, for instance, if I only want to see when domain\me connects to the sql server, I would like to track that information. I am aware this can be done with profiler, but I would really like to have the ability to use one tool.

Dashboard view for multi-instance environment
We have multi-instance SQL Server on one VM.
Today on dashboard we have waits for instance, and we need processor usage for instance also.We would prefer to have on tile:
1. Waits for instance
2. Procesor for instance
3. Disk i/o for instanceWe should have also tile which grup all instances into machine. On machine tile we shoul have the same information as for instance but measuers would count machine indicators.
There would be also great if You would add new dashboard view for multi instance environment.
My proposal for view in atachment (I am not a professional…

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 us1 vote -
Median from jobs - calculating Job duration unusual ONLY for sucess
I have noticed that SQL Monitor calculate median from all jobs ragardles if it is failed or sucess...
From my point of view it should analyse only jobs which finished success and calculate median from duration.
I need to know when job succeded what is duration median and if it is ok or not.Please change job duration median to calculate from jobs which ended with sucess.

Add number of alerts to browser tab
I always have SQL Monitor open as one of the tabs on my browser (Chrome). What might be useful is to change the text of the tab (only when it is set to Global Overview) to include the number of alerts (unread or uncleared I'm not sure.....) - much like if you have Gmail inbox open, then any unread items make the tab text "Gmail - inbox (1)'

On the main dashboard please maintain a consistent ordering.
Dashboard element sorting should be fixed preferably in alphabetical order. The whole idea of a dashboard should be to provide an at a glance view of the state of your server set. When you change the order from servername when all is green to some other order because something has triggered an alert on a server I have to spend extra time figuring out which server has an issue because the sort order has changed.
1 voteVersion 6.0.11 has now been released and amongst the enhancements is the ability to fix the servers in alphabetical order (Oder by: Name).
If you have any feedback, email sqlmonitorfeedback@red-gate.com

Add additional metrics for Latency, Failover, queries categories for MongoDB
• Replicaset metrics around latency and failovers…etc. Like SQL Server.
• Something to track queries performing large scans vs seeks.
• Would be nice if the alerts (even if duplicated were broken out by platform. They are shown by SQL which I get is your primary offering, but just saying also postgressql vs seeing its PostgressSQL on Linux or MongoDB on Linux and change the alert offering to reflect those in a separate grouping like SQL.
