Changes in MySQL Enterprise Monitor 3.1.6

Functionality Added or Changed

* The configuration menu item Event Handling was renamed Event
Handlers.

* The bundled JRE was updated to 1.8.0_112 for both the Agent and
Service Manager.

* The OpenSSL libraries used by the MySQL Enterprise Monitor
installers and MySQL Enterprise Monitor Aggregator have been
upgraded to 1.0.2j.

* The specific operating system version is now displayed in the Host
Details section of the MySQL Instances dashboard.

* The MySQL database, bundled with the MySQL Enterprise Service
Manager, has been upgraded to MySQL 5.6.35.

Bugs Fixed

* Under certain circumstances, the asset selector list would not load
on the Assets tab of the Groups page. (Bug #25051693)

* Under certain circumstances, if a notification group contained one
or more invalid email addresses, the notification failed.

As of this release, the invalid address exception generated by the
email server is handled correctly, the invalid email address is
removed, and the notification is resent. If the notification group
contains multiple invalid addresses, they are removed and the
message resent until either the notification is sent or no email
addresses remain.

Errors are logged to the Action Log. (Bug #25037204)

* If the backup directory was set to the same directory as the
installation directory, the upgrade installer removed the
installation, and the upgrade process failed.

As of this release, the installers check if the backup directory is
set to the same directory as the installation directory.

This issue affected the upgrade installers for the MySQL Enterprise
Service Manager, MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent, and the MySQL
Enterprise Monitor Proxy and Aggregator. (Bug #25027413, Bug
#25078184, Bug #25078204)

* The Show n entries drop-down menu on the Query Analyzer page was too
small. This affected the Google Chrome browser, only. (Bug
#24948388)

* Comma-separated external role definitions were not correctly parsed
on the Roles page. (Bug #24918199)

* The External Role field on the Roles and Settings pages, was too
small. (Bug #24917944)

* The fields on the Encryption Settings tab of the Add MySQL Instance
or Edit Instances dialogs did not reflect the actual configuration.
(Bug #24833411)

* The Group Settings tab on the Edit Instance dialog was too small to
properly display its contents. (Bug #24481474)

* Resume Event Handler dialog was too small for its contents.
(Bug #24481411)

* Duplicate actions were taken, and notifications sent, if multiple
event handlers used the same advisor.

As of this release, duplicate actions and notifications are combined
into a single action or notification.

However, each event handler is logged as handling the event.
(Bug #24341371)

* The Line and Stack graph controls were not displayed for graphs with
many series. (Bug #22378850)

* The auto-update parameter of the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager
configuration utilities, config.sh, did not behave as expected.

* Fields of the Add Instance dialog, for unmonitored instances, did
not auto-populate with the correct, agent, hostname, or port number.
