Dear MySQL users,
The MySQL development team is pleased to announce that MySQL
Enterprise Monitor 3.1 is now generally available (GA).
MySQL Enterprise Monitor provides real-time visibility into the
performance and availability of all your MySQL databases. Start
monitoring MySQL within 10 minutes with zero configuration and no
agents. Installer packages for version 3.1 GA are available now on My
Oracle Support and a free trial will be available on the Oracle
Software Delivery Cloud at the next monthly refresh in November. For
more information, see
http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/monitor.html.
Version 3.1 adds significant enhancements in the areas of security and
performance tuning. Highlights include:
* New MySQL 5.7 metrics and collections.
* Performance tuning tools to identify I/O hot spots and lock wait
contention. The Database File I/O and Lock Waits reports utilize the
sys schema, which can be installed on the selected instance from
within MySQL Enterprise Monitor.
* Access Control Lists - MySQL Enterprise Monitor 3.1 introduces
Access Control Lists (ACLs) that enable the following functionality
within the monitoring tool:
- Define visibilty: strictly limit access to specific groups of
assets or grant access to all assets.
- Define Roles: rather than define permissions per user, as in
previous releases, permission sets are defined in roles and roles
can be assigned to users.
- Restrict access to sensitive data: grant or deny rights to view
specific types of potentially sensitive data, such as Query
Analyzer data.
- Authenticate using external services: map your users to roles
defined in LDAP or Active Directory.
* Monitoring of MySQL Enterprise Firewall to protect your MySQL
servers from database-specific attacks and receive alerts when a
potential security threat has been identified.
* Monitoring of MySQL Enterprise Audit to enforce your own security
policies and satisfy regulatory compliance with HIPAA, Sarbanes-
Oxley, and the PCI Data Security Standard.
* Bug fixes, enhancement requests and usability improvements were made
throughout the product, including a new Group Editor on the Settings
menu, new User and Roles editors, and customizable graphs on the
Overview dashboard.
To download MySQL Enterprise Monitor 3.1 installer packages from My
Oracle Support, choose the "Patches & Updates" tab, and then use the
"Product or Family (Advanced Search)" feature.
Please open a bug or a ticket on My Oracle Support to report problems,
request features, or give us general feedback about how this release
meets your needs.
Happy Monitoring!
