Percona Monitoring and Management 2.30

On August 25, 2022, Percona Monitoring and Management 2.30 was released. It is an open source database monitoring, management, and observability solution for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. A release highlight is the introduction of a more user-friendly and insightful experimental Home Dashboard in version 2.30.0. With this new Home Dashboard, you can experience a boost in performance while monitoring a large number of nodes or services. Repeated rows (for a large number of nodes) on the dashboard can take a considerable time to load the Home Dashboard UI.

Percona Distribution for MongoDB 5.0.11

On September 1, 2022, Percona Distribution for MongoDB 5.0.11 was released. It is a freely available MongoDB database alternative, giving you a single solution that combines enterprise components from the open source community, designed and tested to work together. The aim of Percona Distribution for MongoDB is to enable you to run and operate your MongoDB efficiently with the data being consistently backed up. Important release highlight: With this release, the kmipKeyIdentifier option for data-at-rest encryption using the KMIP protocol (tech preview feature) is optional. This change serves to improve the user experience with Percona Server for MongoDB as the option names and behavior are similar to those of MongoDB Enterprise. However, if data-at-rest encryption using KMIP is configured, it is the breaking change because the standard upgrade procedure does not work. We do recommend to use the data-at-rest encryption using the KMIP protocol only for testing purposes until it is in the general availability stage.

If you have configured data at rest encryption and it is absolutely necessary to upgrade your MongoDB instance, see the upgrade instructions.

Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.7.39-31.61 was released on August 29, 2022. Percona XtraDB Cluster is based on Percona Server for MySQL and is a free, open source, enterprise-grade solution that includes the high availability and the security features your business requires to meet your customer expectations and business goals.

The improvements and bug fixes for MySQL 5.7.39, provided by Oracle, and included in Percona Server for MySQL are the following:

  • Enable the performance_schema_show_processlist system variable to use an alternative implementation of the SHOW PROCESSLIST statement. Instead of querying the thread manager and holding a global mutex, which may affect performance, this implementation queries the active thread data from the Performance Schema and does not require a mutex.
