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.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. Allow users access to view specific reports

    Currently I create a few reports for different business areas and e-mail them daily. It would be really useful if they could follow the link on the page and view their reports only without having access to the site in general. They could then use the report filters.
    Another idea would be to be able to create a reports page with a static link where I could put several different reports, users would have access to this page only and be able to view any reports created in real time.

  2. add "Red-Gate SQL Monitor" to the start of all titles

    If I have a lot of tabs open, the title of the page gets shortened. So, hypothetically, I have enough tabs open that only 4 letters show on the redgate SQL Monitor for the page title. Boss comes into my cubicle to talk to me about something, glances at my screen and sees I have a tab called "Anal..." open when it is really "Analysis", and some red flags will go off in his mind even though I'm doing nothing wrong. If it started out with "Red-Gate - Analysis" or "SQL Monitor - Analysis", even if that got shortened to…

  3. Detect Unsupported SQL Server Versions When Upgrading Versions

    I was running v4 with a MSSQL 2005 database and decided to upgrade to v6. The installer finished successfully, however when it took me to the Web App page, there was a warning that the database upgrade did not complete successfully. The reported error was "Cannot assign a default value to a local variable". I knew right away it was a problem with my old SQL Server version. I checked the forums and indeed, 2005 is no longer supported with version 6. I understand that, and have no problem with it. However, ya'll would have saved me the headache of…

  4. 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.

  5. Have a standard metric for Data space used

    There is currently an out of the box metric or Log Space Used, but there isn't an equivalent Data Space Used.

    I get that it's a bit trickier if you have multiple data files, (even just adding them up as one metric). We have databases that we want to pro-actively allocate space for but it's hard to do without a metric to tell us when it's getting full.

  6. I wish the blocking Process report included the resource the Blocked processes are waiting on.

    My Dev write 500+ line procedures and functions so the SQL "Fragment" is seldom very helpful.
    It would be much more helpful to identify the resources the processes are blocked on. Even just the waitresource and waittype columns from sys.dmexecrequests would help.

    I know some of the resource types are tough to parse in T-SQL.

  7. Filter Longest Running Queries Tile by Database

    The Longest Running Queries Tile on the Reports screen would be more useful if we could target only one database.

  8. Improved view of User Sessions

    Visibility into user sessions could be improved. The current list on the instance overview, "SQL User Processes (Top 10)", is a start but needs the following to make it useful:

    1) Don't limit the number of sessions shown; rather add paging controls like on the error log view, so that it would be possible to see any session for any selected time period
    2) Add a columns for:
    - Login (i.e. login name)
    - Blocked by session Id (maybe even an icon if a session is blocking/blocked?)
    3) Make it possible to sort by any column
    4) Add ability to…

  9. Feasibility of selecting databases across the sql instances to create custom metrics

    Imagine we are planning to create a new custom metric which we wish to use across several instances but one specific set of databases. its currently impossible and will be one to have.

  10. Have all cookies from the application marked as secure and HttpOnly

    In a internal review of web-applications our riscmanament suggests that all webapplications cookies must be marked being secure and HttpOnly.

    Could that be possible?

  11. global dashboard should handle multi-level groupings

    Currently the global dashboard presents the SQL instance tiles according to their top-level group. So if I have 3 servers grouped such as:

    App1

    Prod

    Svr1
    Dev
    Svr2
    App2
    Prod
    Svr3

    it will present these under 2 groups: App1 and App2. This is fine if you're viewing all servers.

    However when I filter the view to only show servers in the App1 group, I'd like the tiles to be grouped using the next level of grouping if there is one (in this case "Prod" and "Dev")

  15. Apply regex rules to existing alerts

    Filtering alerts with regex is great for new alerts but it would be better if we could confirm our new command work by running them on existing alerts. Either testing or just been able to the filter the events using custom regex expressions.

  17. Add option(s) for manual purging of data (use case: removed instances, deleted databases)

    CONTEXT: When you remove a machine from monitoring in SQL Monitor / delete a database from an instance / rename a database... - data stays in the SQL Monitor database (e.g. machine/instance/database is still visible on the Analysis tab), at least until relevant monitoring data is purged.

    PROBLEM: If you have some purge settings set to "do not purge", that data never goes away. Sometimes that is OK (you want the history retained), sometimes it's not (bloats the SQL Monitor database, unneeded entries on the Analysis page...).

    EXAMPLE SOLUTIONS:
    Add options to manually (on demand) delete data for a chosen…

  20. Expand lower section of overview window

    I would like the ability to expand the sections in the lower portion of the overview window or break them out into separate windows. For example, when viewing the Top 10 Queries or Waits it is very difficult because there is not enough room. Also because the individual tabs scroll separately from the main window, scrolling is a pain. The top graph section shrinks, but it still takes up too much screen area. Being able to break out in individual sections or expand them to fill the screen would be very helpful.

    See attached screenshot for an example.
