Control Center 2026.1 Release Notes
What’s New in This Release
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 release, 2026.1, includes a new feature, as well as improvements and issue resolutions.
GridGain 9 Connector Support Scope
GridGain Control Center supports GridGain 9 versions 9.1.0 and later and Apache Ignite 3.1.0 and later.
You need to update Cloud Connector to the latest version (2026.1) to securely connect your GridGain 9 and Apache Ignite 3 clusters to Control Center.
New Features
Data and Schema Import
Control Center now includes a new Data and Schema Import feature that allows users to import schemas from external relational databases (including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB) via JDBC, or from Apache Iceberg tables via REST and JDBC catalogs. The import process covers connection setup, schema and table selection, GridGain-specific storage configuration (zones, storage profiles, colocation keys), column type mapping, and a final review of the generated scripts before execution. See Data and Schema Import for details.
