Changes in MySQL Enterprise Monitor 3.0.24

Functionality Added or Changed

* Printing graph pages from MySQL Enterprise Monitor User Interface is
improved in this version. For example, graphs are no longer split
over page breaks, user-interface elements, such as buttons and the
Asset Selector, are no longer included in the output, and so on.

A Print button is added on the All Timeseries Graphs page. (Bug
#11750489)

* The OpenSSL library bundled with MySQL Enterprise Service Manager
and MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent has been upgraded to OpenSSL
1.0.1p.

* The MySQL database, bundled with the MySQL Enterprise Service
Manager, has been upgraded to MySQL 5.6.26.

Bugs Fixed

* The Event Handler Blackout documentation was unclear and the menu
item on the MySQL Instances page was not described. (Bug #21644880,
Bug #21644615)

* The monitoring agent reported an error if the sql_mode system
variable values were set in a different order from the recommended
sql_mode=
STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER. For
example, if set to sql_mode=
STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION many
errors are logged, even though all the values are valid.

As of this release, the agent checks only for the presence of the
sql_mode values, not their order. (Bug #21625895)

* It was not possible to save changes to the Query Analysis Reporting
advisor if the application locale was set to anything other than
English. (Bug #21535581)

* MySQL 5.7.8 instances were reported as down, even though they were
running. This was caused by the behavior of the default value (OFF)
of the variable show_compatibility_56 in MySQL 5.7.8. If this
variable is set to OFF, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.GLOBAL_STATUS and
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.GLOBAL_VARIABLES did not return any results, such
as UPTIME. As a result the instance was reported as down.

As of this release, the Agent always uses
PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA.GLOBAL_STATUS on MySQL 5.7 versions, and supports
both modes of show_compatibility_56 from version 5.7.9 onwards.

Note: To monitor versions of MySQL 5.7.8, show_compatibility_56 must
be set to OFF.

* It was possible to select graphs, on the Overview dashboard's graph
selector, which were already displayed on the page. The entries were
active in the drop-down list.

This error only occured if no changes had been made to the graphs on
the Overview page.
