This set of Redgate Monitor updates brings new AI-powered tooling into how teams work with their estate, alongside expanded coverage for Google Cloud SQL and Contained Availability Groups. Whether you're looking to get faster, insightful answers, plug Monitor into your own AI stack, extend monitoring to a new cloud platform, or keep job visibility intact through a failover, there's something here for you. 

Get faster answers about your estate with Redgate Assistant 

Redgate Assistant Chat (v14.20) is available now in preview inside Redgate Monitor, with wider availability to follow. It's the first step toward a bigger vision of purpose-built AI for businesses that depend on databases, starting with the ability to ask a question about your estate's health and performance in plain language and get an answer back immediately, without building a dashboard or writing a query first. That means anyone on the team can find an answer, not only those who already know how to write the query themselves. 

Redgate Assistant Chat is in private preview, with a wider release to follow. 

 Connect Monitor's context-rich database information to your own AI tools 

For teams who want their own AI tools connected to Monitor, the Monitor MCP Server (v14.20) links your AI assistant or agent directly to that information. Whether you're meeting a compliance requirement, plugging into an existing agent workflow or simply prefer working in Claude or another AI assistant, your tools can now query Monitor directly, so decisions and automations are grounded in the real state of your estate rather than guesswork.

 Monitor now supports Google Cloud SQL 

SQL Server instances running on Google Cloud SQL can now be monitored in Redgate Monitor (v14.23), joining AWS and Azure as fully supported cloud platforms. Estates spread across multiple clouds or teams standardizing on Google Cloud can bring those instances into the same single pane of glass used for the rest of their environment, rather than reaching for a separate tool or losing visibility when workloads move to a new provider. 

 Keep job visibility intact using a Contained Availability Group  

Contained Availability Groups are a newer SQL Server feature (2022+) that keep some objects like SQL Agent jobs inside the group itself. Because those jobs live in a different place than usual, Redgate Monitor previously didn't see them — customers using Contained AGs had a blind spot where some of their jobs simply weren't monitored. Monitor v14.20 closes that gap: jobs in Contained AGs are now collected and shown in the Estate Jobs view alongside everything else, with the same alerting available as for any other job.
