Redgate Monitor works with more than SQL Server. Some big changes were announced recently, and I’ll cover the highlights here.

This post looks at Redgate Monitor and the additional monitoring available for Oracle, MySQL, and MongoDB.

Growing Up

The world has been slowly growing to embrace more database platforms. Not just as a whole, but I find more and more Redgate clients have lots of different database platforms. Our 2025 State of Database Landscape report shows that while there is a little consolidation from many companies having more than 4 platforms in 2024, there are still plenty that have 2 or 3.

As a result, we’ve been working hard to bring additional capabilities to Redgate Monitor beyond SQL Server. In 2023 we announced PostgreSQL support. Just recently we also added Oracle, MySQL, and MongoDB support.

We can see this in the online monitor.red-gate.com demo site. If we scroll down to the staging group, we see both MongoDB and MySQL being monitored.

Below these, we see Oracle 19 and 23 being monitored as well.

If you click into any of these cards, you’ll see there is a limited amount of information now, but we have teams growing and adding the metrics on a weekly basis. Right now, Oracle shows high level metrics and queries.

The supported platforms are in the docs for Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server.

Summary

Redgate Monitor is growing up. I remember when it was just a small alerting system and now it’s a world class monitoring platform that is growing beyond SQL Server. If you have needs on other platforms, check it out and let us know what’s important to you.
