This Friday is the NYC DevOps Devour hour, which is actually 3 hours. Plus a happy hour.
I’ll be there with Kendra Little and Erik Darling talking about DevOps stuff. You can register now and join me in Manhattan from 12:00-3:00p at the 3rd Avenue Industrious office.
We’ll be talking performance problems, cloud migration, and deployment architecture. Come join us if you can.
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.

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

One of our mission statements in the Book of Redgate says: attempt to do the best work of your life.
I’d like to think that at most points in time, people are trying to go good work. There are always times when you are distracted, ill, new child, etc. However, doing the best work of your life? Do you think you are always doing the “best work” at a new place? Or being the best version of yourself at this current position?
I think I am, and this is a good reminder to strive for being the best you can be at that point in time.
The text alongside this value is: We’d like you to achieve your own greatness and to be all that you can be. We’ll try hard to allow that to happen and we’d like you to try hard too.
That’s comforting and inspiring. I do think we try to allow people to grow and achieve things. It’s a nice environment.
I have a copy of the Book of Redgate from 2010. This was a book we produced internally about the company after 10 years in existence. At that time, I’d been there for about 3 years, and it was interesting to learn a some things about the company. This series of posts looks back at the Book of Redgate 15 years later.
Tomorrow is the Redgate DevOps Day in Atlanta. You can still sign up, so do that if you can make it. Here’s the rough outline
Lunch is provided and I’m looking forward to this. I’m traveling from Baton Rouge today to Atlanta (probably right now), coming from a customer visit.
Register and come see me in Atlanta tomorrow
