Control Center 2023.3 Release Notes

What’s New in This Release

Introduction

GridGain® Control Center is a comprehensive, customizable cluster management and developer tool for Apache® Ignite™ and GridGain applications. Use Control Center to query data across caches, monitor performance metrics, define and track production alerts, take snapshots for backup and recovery, and collect and analyze API traces. The latest Control Center 2023.3 release includes a number of UX and bug fixes.

New Features

New Aggregate metrics

With this release, Control Center provides access to new aggregate metrics for caches related to cluster throughput and usage. You can now track the following metrics for your caches:

  • cache.*.GetAverageSinceStart

  • cache.*.PutAverageSinceStart

  • cache.*.RemovalsAverageSinceStart

  • cache.*.WriteRatio

  • cache.*.ReadRatio

  • cache.*.CommitsAverageSinceStart

  • cache.*.RollbacksAverageSinceStart

  • cache.*.RollbackRatio

  • cache.*.MissRatio

Simplified Access to Logs and Thread Dumps

With this release, new dialogs were added that provide quick access to cluster logs and thread dumps.

You can access cluster logs from the Cluster Mangement screen. Logs can be retrieved for specific dates.

To collect thread dumps for a specific thread, use the Nodes widget on the dashboard and select Get thread dump from its context menu. Control Center will collect all thread information and provide it in a new dialog.

These features are available when working with GridGain 8.8.32 or later, and Apache Ignite with Ignite agent 2.15 or later.

Improved License Management

With the new update to license management, you can configure Control Center to update a license without downtime when the license file is changed. Set the control.license.filestorage configuration property to true and set control.license.path property to your license file. Control Center will track the updates to the specified file, and, once it gets changed, it will automatically be loaded and applied.
