One Dashboard. Your Entire Database Estate.
Acuative deploys and manages Redgate Monitor across your SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, and MongoDB environments on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid. Your teams get a single, unified view of every server in your estate, intelligent alerting before problems escalate, and the diagnostic depth to fix issues in minutes rather than hours. No more reactive firefighting. No more 3am wake-up calls.
Why Automate Database Deployments?
Stop reacting. Start preventing.
Most database problems don't appear without warning, they build quietly until something breaks. Acuative configures Redgate Monitor with custom alerting thresholds and proactive health checks across your estate, so your team knows about potential issues before they become incidents. Catch a slow query trend on Tuesday, not a production outage on Friday.
Resolve issues in minutes, not hours
When something goes wrong, speed matters. Redgate Monitor gives your team the historical metrics, wait statistics, query performance data, and built-in diagnostic suggestions needed to pinpoint root causes immediately without digging through logs or running manual queries across multiple servers.
Scale your estate, not your team.
Whether you're monitoring five databases or five hundred, Redgate Monitor scales with your environment. Acuative manages the configuration, alert tuning, and platform maintenance as your estate expands — so your lean DBA team stays in control of everything without being overwhelmed by the complexity of it.
Protect your database estate with confidence
Acuative configures Redgate Monitor's access controls and audit features to ensure sensitive databases are protected, access is managed by role, and every configuration change is recorded. This gives your security and compliance teams the visibility they need without granting direct database access to everyone who needs answers.
What Can You Achieve
Real-Time Performance Monitoring
Keep track on the health and performance of every database server in your estate — and get live visibility into what's happening right now.
- CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network utilisation across all servers
- Top queries ranked by CPU, reads, writes, and duration
- Wait statistics analysis to identify and categorise performance bottlenecks
- Blocking chains and deadlock capture with full query text
- TempDB usage, AG replica status, and log file utilisation
Intelligent Alerting & Threshold Management
Generic default thresholds create unnecessary noise. Custom thresholds aligned to your actual performance baselines ensure your team is alerted only to issues that truly matter.
- 30+ built-in alert types covering performance, availability, and security
- Custom alerting rules for environment-specific conditions
- Priority-based severity: information, warning, and critical with separate routing
- Alert suppression windows for planned maintenance and patching
- Delivery via email, or webhook to Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, or ServiceNow
Centralized Estate Visibility
A single browser-based dashboard gives your entire team visibility across every server in your environment, regardless of where those servers are hosted. Server groupings, access controls, and dashboard layouts can be tailored to match your operational structure.
- Unified view across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments
- Server inventory: version, edition, patch level, configuration, and disk usage
- Availability Group and cluster topology monitoring
- Database-level metrics: size, growth rate, backup status, and log usage
- Role-based access so each team sees only what they need
Historical Analysis & Capacity Planning
Reactive monitoring only tells you what’s broken right now. Historical performance data helps your teams identify trends, plan capacity, and understand whether recent changes improved or degraded performance.
- Performance history selectable from 2 hours to 12 months in the same view
- Trend analysis across database size, query load, and resource consumption
- Before-and-after comparison across releases, patches, and configuration changes
- Capacity planning data to support infrastructure decisions before limits are hit
Security, Access Control & Audit Visibility
Role-based access controls ensure the right people have the right level of visibility without exposing sensitive systems across your monitoring environment.
- Ative Directory integration for centralized user access management
- Granular permission levels including read-only, analyst, and administrator roles
- Server group visibility restrictions by team or function
- Audit logs tracking configuration changes, alerts, thresholds, and user activity
How Acuative Implement & Supports Redgate Monitor
Estate Discovery
We map your full database environment — every server, version, hosting location, and current monitoring tool. We design the Redgate Monitor architecture that gives your team the coverage they need.
Deployment & Configuration
We deploy the monitoring platform and lightweight agents across your estate. We configure server groupings, collection intervals, retention policies, and dashboards matched to your operational model.
Alert Threshold Setup
We establish performance baselines per server group and configure custom alert rules — replacing generic defaults with thresholds that reflect your actual environment. We configure routing to your ITSM or notification platform.
Team Enablement
We train your DBA and operations teams on dashboard navigation, alert investigation, the historical performance explorer, and how to tune thresholds as your environment evolves.
Managed Monitoring Support
Ongoing management of your monitoring environment adding new servers, tuning alert thresholds, managing upgrades, and delivering regular performance trend reports to your leadership team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which database platforms does Redgate Monitor support?
Redgate Monitor covers SQL Server (on-premises and Azure SQL), PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, and MongoDB. Acuative manages the configuration across all platforms your estate uses — including hybrid environments that mix on-premises and cloud-hosted databases.
How are alert thresholds set — are they generic defaults?
No. Acuative works with your team to establish performance baselines specific to your environment and configures custom thresholds accordingly. Generic defaults create noise. We configure alerts that mean something to your team.
Can a small DBA team manage a large estate with this?
Yes — this is exactly what Redgate Monitor is designed for. Centralised visibility, proactive alerting, and built-in diagnostics mean lean teams can manage large, geographically distributed estates without adding headcount.
How does this support our security and compliance requirements?
Acuative configures role-based access, audit logging of configuration changes, and database access monitoring. This supports compliance with NCA, SAMA, and PDPL requirements — giving your security and audit teams the visibility they need.
Can we integrate alerts with our existing ITSM or notification platform?
Yes. Redgate Monitor supports webhook-based alert delivery, which Acuative configures to route alerts to Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, ServiceNow, or any HTTP-based endpoint your team already uses.
