We are pleased to announce that MySQL Enterprise Monitor 4.0.3 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

(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.
