Redgate Monitor 14

Redgate Monitor 14.1+ Release Notes

Version 14.2.0 - October 29, 2025

Major changes

  • Custom metrics and alerts are now available for PostgreSQL.

Features

  • Estate > SQL Server replication page added to display the latest activity of replication jobs.
  • New alert types for Replication job failure and Replication maintenance job failure added for SQL Server instances. These new alert types replace the existing Job failure alert type for replication jobs.
  • Estate > Virtual machines page added to monitor virtual machine usage.

Improvements

  • The Analysis page has been updated with a new modern design.
  • Alert configuration save failures are now displayed in the UI with clear error notifications.
  • Added a feature flag (OnlySampleEnabledActiveDirectoryUsers) that can be switched on to stop Monitor from sampling Active Directory users whose accounts are disabled.
  • The export 'All data' button on the Security page grids will now also export hidden columns.
  • The job failure alert and the job canceled alert now displays the job category in the alert details.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue causing intermittent failures in sending notifications for alert closure events, introduced by a regression in version 14.1.0.
  • Fixed an issue where opening a new tab on the current activity filters were not persisting after closing and reopening the tab.
  • Scheduled reports will no longer fail to send if website is bound to all IP addresses (0.0.0.0 or [::]).
  • Fixed an issue when adding an Oracle instance on an Amazon RDS environment, the service name label mentions pointing to the "container database" rather than the "PDB".
  • Fixed an issue for TimescaleDB repositories that could result in custom alerts being shown with an incorrect name for a monitored server.
  • Resolved an issue where retrying individual query monitoring on a non-existent file resulted in a connectivity error.
  • Fixed an issue where renaming a parent group loses the child group level alert configuration.
  • Fixed an issue where moving a child group to a different parent group loses the child group level alert configuration.
  • Fixed an issue where deleting a parent group whose child group had alert configurations retained the alert configurations (upon restoring the parent group and child group).
  • Switching the inheritance level of a custom alert should no longer cause the page to fail to load.
  • Fixed an issue preventing custom alert settings from being configured properly for certain monitored servers.
  • Editing a custom metric with Azure Managed Instance or Azure SQL DB as one of the targets should now populate all the metric fields as expected.
  • Fixed an issue where failing SQL server replication jobs raised Job failure alerts that could not transition from Active to Ended.
  • Deeply nested Postgres query plans no longer disrupt monitoring.
  • Fixed an issue where the blocking process alert incorrectly included unrelated child processes and reported inaccurate blocking durations.

Changes

  • The Job failure alert type (default severity: medium) no longer applies to SQL Server replication jobs. Replication jobs are now covered by the new Replication job failure alert type (default severity: high), or Replication maintenance job failure alert type (default severity: low). The job failure alert type continues to apply to non-replication jobs.

Version 14.1.0 - October 16, 2025

Features

  • Added native ServiceNow integration, allowing ServiceNow incidents to be raised when alerts occur.
  • Added native Microsoft Teams integration, allowing notifications to be sent to Teams when alerts occur.
  • Monitoring of MySQL instances running on Azure Flexible Server is now supported.
  • Extended Oracle support to include Oracle Data Guard monitoring.

  • Improved the Licensing page UI by moving the licensing requirements modal into a drawer and underlining the page links for better clarity.
  • Enterprise edition - Improved the searchability of compliance template settings by sorting the list alphabetically.
  • Enterprise edition - Estates with Amazon RDS SQL Server instances will now auto-detect Active Directory.
  • Enterprise edition - Improved the clarity of the UI in Security > Permissions > Servers > Server details, by splitting the Users tab into two: AD Users and Logins.
  • Enterprise edition - List-based columns on permission pages grids now filter for partial matches.
  • Enterprise edition - Improved icons on Security pages to better align with industry standards.
  • Enterprise edition - Servers on the 'New Compliance Template' dialog are now grouped by their groups in a nested fashion.

Fixes

  • Fixed issue where MySQL Long Running Queries could get a duplicate key.
  • – Resolved an issue where extended intervals between availability group (AG) samples could trigger false positive backup alerts.
  • Active Directory monitoring credentials will now automatically sync with SQL servers.
  • Virtual machines are detected more accurately for SQL Server on Windows machine on the "SQL Server licensing" page under the "Estate" tab.
  • Fixed an issue where some SQL Server numeric return types weren't handled correctly by custom metric collection.
  • Amazon RDS SQL Server no longer fails to update credentials when changing authentication modes while running Base Monitor on a PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB data repository.
  • Tags selected in Disk usage & Job filtering now apply only when all tags match.
  • Long-running query alerts for MongoDB, and clock skew alerts no longer fail to load their details page when using a PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB data repository.
  • The server permissions page now shows an error for the server status if credential decryption fails.
  • Fixed an issue where it wasn't possible to edit credentials for a Postgres instance without re-specifying the secret key for IAM User authentication.
  • Fixed an issue when saving Microsoft Entra credentials for an Azure SQL Database or Azure SQL Managed Instance, when using a PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB data repository.
  • Fixed an issue with gaps in performance metrics graphs due to insertion error, when using a PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB data repository.
  • Enterprise edition - Permission changes are now calculated correctly when using a Timescale data repository.
  • Fixed an issue with deadlock graphs being cropped incorrectly when exporting to a PDF.
  • Fixed an issue where the SSIS version was incorrectly displayed in Estate Configuration page when multiple SQL Server instances were installed on the same server.
  • Fixed an issue where tracked queries could not be displayed when there were no queries sampled within the selected time range.
  • Fixed an issue where Azure SQL Database was displaying server collation rather than database collation on database server overview page.
  • Disable deletion of Cloud Service credentials if they are in use by an instance.
  • Fixed an issue preventing SQL Server top procedures search from returning results.
  • Fixed an issue where the SQL Backup integration could execute a long-running query at startup.
  • Fixed an issue where suspended SQL Servers were being displayed under the server selector in server overview page.

Changes

  • DATAS (Dynamic adaptation to application sizes) was disabled by default. It was originally enabled in Monitor ver. 14.0.48 as part of the upgrade to .NET 9. The Base Monitor component is expected to run on a dedicated server, so DATAS is counterproductive in such a setup. The default setting can be changed in the RedGate.Monitor.BaseMonitor.runtimeconfig.json file.
  • Legacy permissions and AD samplers are now disabled by default.
  • Host monitoring (previously "Advanced monitoring") is now toggled on by default on the Add monitored server pages.
  • In the server overview page, the legend is now hidden if the graph has only one series and the tooltip series label is changed to match the graph title.
  • For Oracle Instances, Top Queries and Long Running queries have been merged into a query performance section alongside the new waits information.

API changes

  • New-RedgateMonitorSqlServer PowerShell cmdlet now accepts -SqlServerAuthenticationMode implicit.
  • A new Update-RedgateMonitorMonitoredObjectCredential cmdlet is now available, enabling the credentials of existing Monitored servers and hosts to be updated.
