Upgrading to SQL Monitor 8.0

SQL Monitor 8.0 is a major upgrade from SQL Monitor 7. If your current license includes a valid support and upgrades package for SQL Monitor 7.x, the same license serial number will automatically activate SQL Monitor 8.0.
If your v7.x license does not include support and upgrades, SQL Monitor will upgrade to a 14-day trial of v8.0. You cannot roll back to the previous 7.x version, so we recommend that you install a trial version of v8.0 on a separate machine. For more information, see Upgrading to a later version of SQL Monitor

    This hasn't been released yet. Where did you see that they had been added to 8.0.19? They're in what will become 8.0.20.

    You can view them on https://monitor.red-gate.com/Estate/Versions though.

    Important: This upgrade contains a major enhancement to the implementation of Azure SQL Database to support Elastic Pools. Please note that while any previously added Azure SQL Servers will be migrated to the new implementation, any historical data gathered in the previous beta implementation of this will be lost when data is purged.

    • A new implementation of Azure SQL Database monitoring which will enable you to monitor Elastic Pools.
