We added a number of new dashboards for MySQL in our latest release of ClusterControl 1.7.0. - and in our previous blog, we showed you How to Monitor Your ProxySQL with Prometheus and ClusterControl.

In this blog, we will look at the MySQL Overview dashboard.

So, we have enabled the Agent Based Monitoring under the Dashboard tab to start collecting metrics to the nodes. Take note that when enabling the Agent Based Monitoring, you have the options to set the “Scrape Interval (seconds)” and “Data retention (days)”. Scraping Interval is where you want to set how aggressively Prometheus will harvest data from the target and Data Retention is how long you want …

ProxySQL 1.4.11, released by ProxySQL, is now available for download in the Percona Repository along with an updated version of Percona’s proxysql-admin tool.

ProxySQL is a high-performance proxy, currently for MySQL and its forks (like Percona Server for MySQL and MariaDB). It acts as an intermediary for client requests seeking resources from the database. René Cannaò created ProxySQL for DBAs as a means of solving complex replication topology issues.

The ProxySQL 1.4.11 source and binary packages available at https://percona.com/downloads/proxysql …

Tungsten Clustering is an extraordinarily flexible tool, with options at every layer of operation.

In this blog post, we will describe and discuss the two different methods for installing, updating and upgrading Tungsten Clustering software.

When first designing a deployment, the question of installation methodology is answered by inspecting the environment and reviewing the customer’s specific needs.

Staging Deployment Methodology

All for One and One for All

Staging deployments were the original method of installing Tungsten Clustering, and relied upon command-line tools to configure and install all cluster nodes at once from a central location called the staging server.

This staging server (which could be one of the cluster nodes) requires SSH access to all …

System-versioned tables, or temporal tables, are a typical feature of proprietary database management systems like DB2, Oracle and SQL Server. They also appeared at some point in PostgreSQL, but only as an extension; and also in CockroachDB, but in a somewhat limited fashion.

The MariaDB® implementation is the first appearance of temporal tables in the MySQL ecosystem, and the most complete implementation in the open source world.

My presentation will be useful for analysts, and some managers, who will definitely benefit from learning how to use temporal tables. Statistics about how data evolves over time is an important part of their job. This feature will allow them to query data as it was at a certain point in time. Or to query how data changed over a period, including rows that were …

When you look up the word idempotence in wikipedia you get the following definition: Idempotence is the property of certain operations in mathematics and computer science whereby they can be applied multiple times without changing the result beyond the initial application.

When I think of idempotence in the sense of how IT operations work, the very first thing that comes to mind is Ansible. In Ansible you have a yml file that represents a state you want the target host to be in. For example, I can use the yum module to ensure that MySQL is installed on my RHEL virtual machine. When the playbook is run, it checks if MySQL is installed. If not, it will install it. It is installed, then it will ignore that …
