The service account can be changed like you would change any service account. In the configuration menu item in the sub-item "monitored servers" you'll find the 'edit credentials' menu option under the three dots for each servers. / comments

Do you want to change the account under which the base monitor service runs? Or do you want to change the account that is used to connect to your monitored servers? / comments

Thanks Thomas and thanks for the confirmation Alex. This is disappointing that it does not check that the service is already present and wipes out the settings.This means every time I update RGM I will need to go into services and change it back to "Automatic (delayed start). Every time Windows patches are applied to the server and it's rebooted, RGM fails to start if it's not set to delayed start.
Why not create a one-line powershell script and schedule it on reboot (or daily for that matter) that checks and sets the service to delayed start if needed? / comments

Very curious to see the log of that installation if you can provide it? I'm asssuming it tries to overwrite a file or folder somewhere to which it doesn't have the rights. Did you start the installer with "run as administrator" or without? I did find that sometimes it makes a difference, even if you're full admin on the machine. / comments

I can assume it would as every update is actually a reinstall of the product. You can check it easily yourself by checking the setting before and after an update. / comments

You could use the 'longest running queries' tile and copy that to an Excel file. You can also email it but that is less nice if you wanna work with the data afterwards. If you want to export the 'top' view in the monitor tab I would rather download the query plan and track the query so you can follow up on performance influence by your changes. Dumping the top 50 in anyone's queue will just cause nothing to happen because nobody can tune 50 queries at the same time. Focus on 1 or 2 and than move on to the next (which would require a new top since you made some changes on server level perhaps). / comments

Alerts should auto clear. How long ago did you fix the job? Most checks are executed a few times a day to prevent killing your server with monitor requests. / comments

If I'm not mistaken, deactivate and active is the correct solution to go. Just make sure your old server is connected to the internet when deactivating. You could also add the key to your new server already and see what is does? As a precaution, you could already try and open a ticket with support to have somebody "on stand-by" when you do the switchover? I'm surprised though that if you switched base monitor and web server but kept your database, the license isn't present on your new server. / comments

I would check to use the migration manual for your base monitor: https://documentation.red-gate.com/sm13/moving-the-base-monitor-to-a-different-machine-195790020.html / comments

Your Redgate Monitor (13.0.35) is from Oct 2023. I would recommend updating to the latest 13.0 release at the least and maybe even to version 14. If you have a virtual machine running Redgate Monitor, you should always take a snapshot before making changes. Can't find any version history, but judging by the version of your coreclr.dll , your .NET version is out of date as well. So updating both Windows and .NET is also recommended if you haven't done so. / comments
