What is Redgate SQL Monitor?

A SQL Server monitoring tool that helps teams looking after SQL Server be more proactive. Not only does SQL Monitor alert you to current issues, it gives you the information you need to stop them happening in the future.

With SQL Monitor in place you can spot trends and issues occurring and take action before it becomes a problem for your users. So whether you need to work out how long it's going to be until that disk is full, or be alerted when unusual activity starts to impact database performance, SQL Monitor gives you the information and insight you need, tailored to your SQL Server environment.

SQL Monitor grows with your estate through distributed monitoring, allowing you to monitor tens or hundreds of servers from a single user interface. As well as monitoring on-premises servers, you can also monitor servers on VMs, AzureDB and AWS.

We are using Redgate SQL Monitor to raise performance issues of stored procedures and resource pressures. It identifies the under-performing stored procedures and from that we can leverage any missing index or SQL performance information caught by SQL server.
  • Missing index
  • RAM usage
  • CPU usage
  • Provide a dedicated section of code for missing index
  • Automation layer
An appropriate scenario for Redgate SQL Monitor would be, collecting internal execution metrics of production and mission-critical SQL server. So from a technical release perspective, we can use it as a baseline.

If I could suggest an optimization it would be to be able to insert events (feedback loop) of monitored SQL server major and minor changes (OS, SQL, or others).

  • Licensing cost is per license...
  • A pre-formatted analysis graph would be great
Redgate SQL Monitor beats them so far since it can access SQL server kernel and internals.

We use Redgate SQL Monitor as our primary SQL Server monitoring application. It's main tasks are to alert the DBAs of any problems with SQL server, such as failed jobs, long running queries, SQL errors, or host-level issues like high CPU or filled disks. We also use it for aggregating performance metrics and troubleshooting performance issues using wait statistics
  • Provides a quick dashboard to identify what servers have issues, and the priority of them
  • Allows for granular control over thresholds and alerting which can be set at multiple levels
  • Let you easily go back in time to see what was going on in the past
  • Incremental releases can be buggy
  • Isn't the best for pinpointing performance issues
  • Web interface can be sluggish
Redgate is great for getting a feel of the general health across all your SQL instances, and for aggregating performance metrics to trend over time. It isn't the best tool when you are trying to drill into specific performance issues or for specific performance tuning.

It is used in a client site to monitor their SQL estate.
  • Global Dashboard gives a great overview
  • Ability to rename/alias a server
  • Easy to navigate
  • I don't think the custom metrics/alerting is as flexible as say SQLSentry
Redgate SQL Monitor is well suited to environments which have little or no SQL Server knowledge/experience.

  • Clients can review all their estate in one place, far easier and better than what SCOM was providing them with
I personally prefer SQL Sentry due to the flexibility in the custom metrics/monitoring but this is still a great product!!
  • Dashboard
  • Popups when hovering a mouse over a server on the dashboard is a nice touch
  • I wish it had the highlight a time period and right click for top SQL feature which you get in SQL Sentry
Access to metrics is simple but I like easy access to top SQL
