The latest Control Center release, 2025.2, includes a number of new features, as well as improvements and issue resolutions.

Major Changes

You need to update Cloud Connector to the latest version to securely connect your GridGain 9 and Apache Ignite 3 clusters to Control Center.

New Features

FST For Specific Data Center

Starting with this release, you can specify the data center ID when you start Data Center Replication for your GridGain 8 cluster from the Caches screen.

Monitoring Improvements

This release features multiple improvements to monitoring your clusters:

  • Attached GridGain 8 clusters now have alerting enabled by default. The ignite.longJVMPausesCountChange metric is monitored for never being over 0 milliseconds.

  • Cluster health widget now tracks if some nodes in the GridGain 8 cluster are offline, and provides the ID of nodes that are offline.

  • You can now manage what data is collected from GridGain 9 or Apache Ignite 3 clusters from Control Center interface without updating your cluster configuration.

Strict Table Limitations
