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.

UI global overiew - add tickerbox with unread alerts
To get a instant view of the unread alerts and their context/importance it might be a good idea to create a tickerbox at the leftmenu of the global overview page.
Currently to know what kind of alert has occured, I have to zoom in/navigate everytime to the alert page.
Layout example: Grouped by server, level, category, datetime
As addition it might be an option to create a tickerbox hide option .

Hi brendo, how would you expect the tickerbox to behave if there is a large volume of alerts incoming? Would you expect to always see the x most recent ones, or would you like to be sure that all alerts show up in this tickerbox over time?

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.

Don't bloat plan cache No. 2

Data disk space usage percentage in Reports
There is a tile in the Report section called "Log Space Used %". Having a tile for mdf files, ie "Data Disk Space Used %", would be very handy in setting initial sizes in the first instance and would also give you a heads up in setting file sizes appropriately going forward.
All this would then be sent via email on a daily basis to monitor both log and disk sizes - so that unexpected file growth is one less thing for a DBA to worry about.
I understand there is something similar in the Estate section, but this has…1 vote -

I wish the mouse wheel did not automatically modify the date scale in the Analysis graph.
I can't count the number of times I have unintentionally messed up a graph with the mouse wheel. It is quite annoying to me.

provide a timeout setting on SQL Managed servers tab.
Hi there, We have a few sites that are offsite from our main building. The line speeds are not very good and therefore we get timeouts on our connections under managed servers. If you can maybe provide a setting to allow a bigger timout here this will help quite a lot.
1 voteGood news, this already exists. In the “edit credentials” dialogue, there is an “edit connection properties” link that gives you a host of options, including the time out (which is 15s by default)

Modifying of several alerts for specific entity could be more user friendly
1) after change tree in left panel with all servers collapse and again should expand nodes down to place where I left

alert layout
I'd like to suggest a revamp in the layout of alerts on Details tab.
This is so you can see at a glance what execution is causing the alert without having to scroll too much.
When reviewing alerts on a computer screen, there's a lot of white space (dead space) to the right of the Connection information. I'd like to suggest that in the unused space, you move the SQL Process Fragment information to the right of the Connection information.
If the window size of the browser is too narrow, it could slide back below the server information. (Responsive)

Disk space alert
The disk space alert can be configured on Server-Level as a host machine alert, but the alert is fired for every Instance on that host.
As example, we have 5 instances on a sever, each instance has it's own drive, e.g.
instance1 on drive d:
instance2 on drive e:
instance3 on drive f:
etc.If one instance, e.g. instance2 on drive e: is filling up it disk, the alert is fired for all instances. We would like to see an alert only for the instance that is affected and not 5 alerts.

Sorting for columns in Host Machine Metrics
The OverViews page provide lots of useful information about our SQL servers including being able to see all of the disks on the host machines. However the order of the disk names seems random. Can we have sorting enabled in this section so we can sort by space used or Disk

Blocking Process Alert to be based on Blocking Time
This idea has been posted before but marked as closed, so posting again. For blocking process alert, it would be good to have the option to setup the alert in a way where we can report on the duration when the first and last blocking happened and if it exceeds a certain threshold.
Let's say, we have set the threshold for 90 seconds and if there are three processes that have wait time of 30 seconds each, that totals to 90 seconds, we receive an alert. However, we don’t want to receive an alert for the 30 second blocked processes.…

Groups to which emails can be added and removed so that this group will be added in alert setting . this help if any change in DBA join or leaving the company . Otherwise will need to update all the alert type . Exchange sever groups cant be used if these type of notification email are forwarded from SMTP servers outside their infra .

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.

One of my servers has a db with many filegroups and does log backups every 5 min. For this reason the msdb..backupset table is very big and SQL Monitors query

When viewing a Deadlock event, you can go to the "Output" tab to get details on what T-SQL was running when the deadlock occured. However, that window is quite small, and is not resizable.

add the table schema to alerts
On that alert (fragmented index), you see a table name. It would be helpful to see the schema to which that table belongs.

Word Wrap Alert Comments
Super minor detail, but it would be a more pleasant experience if I didn't have to use a scroll bar to read comments on Alerts. If it were word wrapped in some manner it would make the user experience better for me.
