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!

allow analysis graphs to update with realtime data without having to manually refresh them
We have SQLmonitor analysis graphs running on wallboards to show us data that is useful to us, but we continually need to click the button to "jump to present", as the timeline does not update as more data is collected to show the most recent history. We want the graph to move automatically to match the current time of day.
Maybe a "play" button that would allow thye display to automatically refresh the graph along the timeline and a pause button should you want to drill deeper into a certain time period when investigating issues. Having the graph update…19 votes -
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 -
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 this old request that network utilization is monitoring in full duplex, therefore the maximum utilization is 200% instead of
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).

Create custom user roles
We would like to create custom roles to grant granluar access to specific functions/features in RedGate SQL monitoring console. Currently, permissions can be granted on monitored objects not on functions except using existing Reporting and Viewer only roles. There is no option to grant Estate access to selected team members or groups.

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).

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.

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,

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.

Analysis: allow disconnecting y-axis from 0
The base of the analysis chart is always, always 0.This is okay when looking at small scale metrics (e.g. user connections), but for large scale metrics (e.g. file size) the proportions become so large that any change is imperceptible. Good luck detecting that your 2 TB database is growing by a GB/day. I don't need to see that it wasn't 512, 1024, 1536, or 2048 GB.
It would be nice to have the option to disconnect the y-axis from 0. Ideally it would automatically scale to the range of the data in the window, with a little margin around it.

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 -
Customizing alerts without loosing inherited settings
Would be great to have the possibility to customize alerts on lower levels without loosing the inerited "customizations".
Otherwise there is the need to "copy" all the exclusions made on higher or highest level to the level that should be customized...
In example : i want to add a keyword for a specific query on Database Instance without loosing all the exceptions made for backup and so on.8 votes -

Ability to set up multiple webhooks
We are generating a work flow where alerts of a specific type are sent to a seperate monitoring tools and the rest to a google chat - both use webhooks, both to different locations - at the moment we are using a work around with script tasks....but ideally being able to set different webhook locations and message for different alert types would be beneficial

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 :)

Filter alerts by Comment
Add back in the filter options, the filter on Have/Doesn't have Comment.
Add the possibility to search by comment.Wold be great if there was some sort of "Tags" that you can apply to an alert and to filter based on those tags.

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.
