[Andy Bang]

We are pleased to announce that MySQL Enterprise Monitor 4.0.2 is now
available for download on the My Oracle Support (MOS) web site. It
will also be available for download via the Oracle Software Delivery
Cloud in a few days. MySQL Enterprise Monitor is the best-in-class
tool for monitoring and management of your MySQL assets and is
included with your MySQL Enterprise Edition and MySQL Enterprise
Carrier Grade subscriptions.

(also included at the end of this note for convenience)

Highlights

* Modern look and feel: a redesigned user interface delivers a vastly
improved overall user experience. The visible changes--the layout,
the icons, the and the overall aesthetics--provide a more natural
and intuitive experience. Views dynamically change and adjust to
your current context and the assets you've selected, everything from
individual MySQL instances or hosts to your custom Groups, to your
complex replication and clustered topologies. Additional
enhancements include a much more responsive UI and a greater
capacity to scale, allowing you to more effectively manage thousands
of MySQL related assets.

* MySQL Cluster monitoring: we now auto-discover your MySQL Cluster
installations and give you visibility into the performance,
availability, and health of each MySQL instance and NDB process, as
well as the health of the MySQL Cluster instance as a single logical
system. The Overview dashboard displays detailed instrumentation
available for each MySQL Cluster and the Topology dashboard displays
the current configuration of your MySQL Cluster enabling you to
quickly see the status of the MySQL Cluster instance as a whole and
each individual process. The Topology dashboard allows you to easily
see how your MySQL Cluster installations are currently functioning.

* A User Statistics report: which provides an easy way to monitor
MySQL resource utilization broken down by user.

Changes in MySQL Enterprise Monitor 4.0.2

Functionality Added or Changed

* As of this release, on Solaris platforms, the installer and upgrade
installer check for the presence of the Oracle Developer Studio 12.5
Runtime libraries. If these libraries are not installed, the
installation stops and displays an error.

Oracle Developer Studio 12.5 Runtime libraries must be installed
before running the MySQL Enterprise Monitor installers.

* The MySQL server, bundled with the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager,
has been upgraded to MySQL 5.7.20.

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

Bugs Fixed

* The service_manager privilege descriptions lacked examples. For more
information, see MySQL Enterprise Monitor Repository. (Bug
#27130180)

* The documentation incorrectly stated that a Service Manager user
required privileges on the mysql.inventory table. The
mysql.inventory table is no longer created. (Bug #27130103)

* It was not possible to edit the sparkline selection on the Overview.
The drop-down list was empty. (Bug #27126595)

* Under certain cirumstances, some group replication topologies, such
as InnoDB clusters, did not load in the Topology. (Bug #27126443)

* Some selections were not properly displayed in the Column drop-down
menus on the Query Analyzer's Advanced filter. (Bug #27110602)

* Long confirmation messages on the What's New page were not correctly
formatted and overflowed the boundaries of the tooltip popup. (Bug
#26941371)

* The Advisors drop-down list on the Create Event Handler dialog was
not displayed properly. It was not possible to scroll the list. (Bug
#26870551)

* It was not possible to delete or edit a notification group if the
subject contained braces, { or }. An error was displayed.

As of this release, it is possible to edit, and correct,
notification group subjects which contain unsupported characters.
Also, an error is displayed on saving if the notification group's
subject contains an unsupported character. (Bug #25535520)

* Data purge was not completed if the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager
was restarted while the purge was running.

* Sparkline graphs were not correctly displayed for cluster group
selections on the Replication view.

* Current Emergency & Critical Events displayed no data if All entries
was selected. It was necessary to refresh the page manually.

* The Current Emergency & Critical Events list was filtered by the
current, active personal filter.
