Upcoming innotop features

It's been a while since I released an update to innotop, but I have not been idle. I'm currently working hard to add major new features and functionality. Here's a quick list of what's coming.

Debian/Ubuntu package now available for innotop 0.1.160

A kind soul has contributed a Debian/Ubuntu package for the innotop MySQL and InnoDB monitor. Thanks Sebastien Estienne!

How to install innotop on Microsoft Windows

I recently tested installing innotop on Microsoft Windows. There was one slight glitch, but I changed a couple lines of code, and now it runs out of the box under ActivePerl. Version 0.1.156 contains those changes for Windows compatibility.

Installing innotop on FreeBSD and Gentoo

I recently got a message letting me know FreeBSD users will soon be able to install the innotop MySQL and InnoDB monitor through ports. Gentoo GNU/Linux users can find innotop in Portage.

Version 0.1.154 of innotop released

I recently published an article on O'Reilly about monitoring tools for MySQL. Of course I believe innotop is the best in its class, so I mentioned it. But I also recently added some features to innotop, and made a stability fix too.

I've released version 0.1.146 of the innotop MySQL and InnoDB monitor. You can download innotop from the original article.

I re-arranged some information to be more compact and readable in this version, but there isn't really much new functionality. This is mostly a bug-fix release to prevent crashes when innotop encounters unexpected information, or doesn't find some information it expects to exist. It's still very much beta software, so it may die unexpectedly. See this article about what information I need to debug and fix crashes.

Crashes should not cause any loss of information or other problems, by the way. It's completely safe to run, because it doesn't modify anything, it just reads status information. Up till now I've preferred …

In this article I'll explain how innotop can make it much easier to collect useful information from SHOW STATUS and SHOW VARIABLES into one place.
