Add monitoring for Azure Synapse (formerly Azure Data Warehouse)
We would love to see support for Microsoft's Azure Synapse product. There is currently no good way we've found to monitor performance the way you can with on-prem or Azure SQL. Understanding that Synapse databases don't support all of the same features and functionality, it would be fantastic to include those in our…
Adding the SQL Deadlocks alert to the main dashboard
It will be benefitable if the SQL Deadlocks alerts is included in the DPA main dashboard. Having the alert on the main dashboard gets a faster respond then the email alerts. When the Deadlock alerts is discover, by clicking the alerts takes one to the SQL server source and the detail of the deadlock.
Add CopytoClipboard as text not HTML for SQL Text
It would be nice if the SQL text window (or even other spots) had a CopyToClipboard option. I often copy/paste to send to another developer and its somewhat annoying to always roundtrip through notepad to remove the html.
Modify the alert "Windows Service Not Running - SQL Server" to allow for multiple services
DPA has a built in alert for SQL server called "Windows Service Not Running - SQL Server". This worked well in the past, however, Microsoft changed the Service Name of the SSRS service from "ReportServer" to "SQLServerReportingServices" when they released SQL 2019.

Without seeing the stored procedure parameters we cannot track down which record to look at. When you have no privacy concerns like medical,…
Add ability to create alert blackout period for "all days", "weekdays", or "weekends"
If I want to set up a blackout period for a specific alert from 2am - 4am every night, I have to create seven separate blackouts.
DPA Recurring Blackout Schedule
Hello! I was showing a DPA support engineer the differences between DPA blackouts and Orion maintenance schedules. It would be awesome to see a recurring blackout option showing a calendar with specific date and time ranges. Support case for this was: 00584719. I looked around on Thwack, but really did not see anything. Hi…
GUI navigation - Add previous/next links next to date and time navigation under the tab "Trend"
Dear All This is a enhancement request to simplify date and time navigation when browsing in the "trend" tab. Currently it is only possible to navigate in date and time with pull down menus: The idea is to enhance the navigation and add previous and next links/icons: If you click the previous link/icon to the left of the…
Oracle database monitor - it would be really useful to get the A-Rows (Actual Rows) and E-Rows (Estimated Rows) returned in the explain plan
When displaying the explain plans for queries it would be very usful to get the estimated and actual row counts for the plan returned. I am not sure how DPA works under the hood and if this is possible but it would be extremely helpful to have thie incorporated!
For Oracle database monitored it would be really useful to get the A-Rows (Actual Rows) and E-Rows (Estimated Rows) returned in the explain plan
When reviewing explain plans for Oracle key information which is really useful is missing such as the A-ROWS and E-ROWS. Is it possible for DPA to gather this information when monitoring the queries?
