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.

Detailed Memory usage breakdown
I would like to see a breakdown of memory usage. For example, how much memory is used by the plan cache, how much for the buffer pool, etc.
Also, a breakdown of memory usage per database.8 votes -
Slack notification in more detailed
Slack notifies the alert, would be great to view complete details in slack specific to notified. This helps giving access to development for a slack channel to look into Long Running Query corresponding to database. without giving full access

Include Top N Worst Performing Stored Procedures and Functions
At my organization, we do a lot of tuning at the stored procedure and function level.
I would like a tab similar to the existing top 10 queries tab, that lists the CPU utilization, memory utilization and IO consumption of the top 10 worst performing stored procedures, and another tab that lists the top 10 worst performing functions. For each of the fields I would like to see both the totals, and the percent of total during the specified time period.
This will allow us to identify the stored procedures and functions to tune, and once tuned, it will allow…

We learned from a support ticket (and experience) that network utilization is monitoring in full duplex, therefore the maximum utilization is 200% instead of 100%. Unfortunately, I'm unable to modify our monitoring configuration to have thresholds above 100%. In a perfect world, network utilization would be split into two alerts, one for send and one for receive, this way we could manage the utilization limits separately. But if the perfect solution is not possible, then we'd at least like to be able to enter thresholds above 100% so we can alert at 150% utilization (for example).

Customize the Alert page Columns
Due to the lack of any useful actual time-zone date-time presentation in the UI (I still have issues because of the SEVEN I have to deal with), kindly allow us to add columns to the Alerts page.
Specifically, I MUST HAVE the Group designation. This is the way I group by time-zone. When looking down the All Servers list, because there are always alerts across all the zones, having the "time-zone" right before the "Object" makes handling the busy list much easier than having to wait for each node's page to render, especially as the Alert Page performance has…

handle case insensitivity with regex
We can configure some alerts to be ignored based on names/objects that are matched using reguler expressions.
Regex is case sensitive, but to avoid having to put all possible combinations in the regex boxes, could that be handled internally by SQL Monitor - for example by uppercasing (or lowercasing) all text before comparing?1 voteHi,
SQL Monitor supports all standard .NET regex characters, and uses the IgnoreCase option. All regular expressions are therefore case-insensitive.
Thanks,

Show query history for custom date range in "Top Queries" view
In the top queries window, the history can only be searched via three date ranges:
Zoom Range,
Window Range,
All historyIt would be good to be able to search a custom date range to make the graph easier to see for a time period of interest. Window range is only three days max and all time can be too broad.

Have the ability to pin the left sidebar in the overview screen
It'd be great if we could pin the sidebar on the left-hand side of the screen on the overview section when looking at a particular server. As I'm looking over metrics I oven find myself hovering over that section then waiting for it to expand and collapse again. An example concept implementation that I think would work well is similar to how Microsoft implements basically that same functionality in their office suite (in particular off hand outlook is a great example). Really just being able to pin it in place I think would satisfy the entire issue for me…
3 votesThe sidebar is now either open or closed (it will no longer open on mouseover).

Add % CPU Usage column for the "User SQL processes (top 10 by CPU usage)" section.
On the Overview page for the SQL Server instance there is a section: User SQL processes (top 10 by CPU usage) that show current SPIDs that are utilizing CPU resources. This section should show the actual % of CPU usage for that SPID.

I'd like it to be more obvious that an active alert is no longer a current and unresolved issue
Whenever an issue is flagged, for example in the night, it changed the server to red. Once you click on that, the state is "active" (more un acknowledged I would say if not current). For me it is not clear if that issue is still ongoing or that it had been an issue and is now resolved.
Can it be made clear what the end time is if the alert is no longer active? (right now only start time is listed)2 votes -
Long-running query Alert - time based parameters
I need to disable monitoring long running queries at night.
My proposal is that you could add new parameter to alerts
Time from - Time to which will exclude monitoring during this time.That will help to exclude ETL - ssis, and other long rununig queries which we set up at night.

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.

silence alerts for x hours
If an alert is firing repetitively for say a job failure, to be able to silence the alert for a number of specified hours (not permanently) if you know it will recover later, but you don't want to disable the job - just want the alerts to stop temporarily

Alert History on new Overview - Don't show Cleared Alerts
The slide-out Alert pane is useful on the Overview IF, and ONLY IF, under normal circumstances we want to see NON-cleared Alerts, like the default filter on the Alerts page itself.
Please make this pane behave like the Alert page's filter, and allow us to re-filter, to include cleared if we want to. But at the very least allow us to set a default filter (in my case NON-cleared).
Thanks.
7 votesHi, thanks for the suggestion. The version 6.0.10 release added the ability to show/hide cleared and ended alerts from the timeline and alert sidebar on server overviews. We intend to add this to the global dashboard soon. Hopefully this solves the issue.

Availability Group alert details
It would be great to see the server name in the mail body which is affected by the alert. Currently it is only in the subject. EG: Raised on detail i the mail body contains the primary replica, the affected unreachable replica is only in the subject.

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…13 votes -
Get notification for when a SQL Agent job is in a retry state
Hi, it would be really useful if SQL Monitor could identify when any currently executing job steps are in a retry state. We have many such jobs and the time lost whilst they are in such a state is frustarating as if we had notification we could take action. I appreciate I can roll my solution but would be nice if SQL Monitor could do it :)

Collect SQLServer:Memory Manager counters.
This would be especially useful for SQL 2012 where counters have been removed from the buffer manager exist in the memory manager counters. For SQL Server 2012, I have observed that there is a memory leak and this is revealed by observing the Memory Manager Optimizer Memory (KB) counter.

Hi, we’re monitoring a few of those out of the box and the rest can be covered via the custom metrics feature – check out sys.dm_os_performance_counters
