This update ensures smoother and more reliable performance, helping you maintain seamless workflows. Update today to benefit from the enhanced stability of your dashboard experience.

Prometheus and Grafana are open source tools that can be used for monitoring MySQL clusters. Prometheus can be used to collect metrics from MySQL clusters, and Grafana can be used to visualize the metrics. Starting with Tungsten v7, using the new Tungsten Prometheus Exporter feature, it’s become easy to leverage the best these powerful monitoring tools have to offer.

In this blog post, we explore the new support for running Tungsten Dashboard via Docker containers. This method allows for a rapid configuration of the GUI. We describe the docker method of installing the Tungsten Dashboard using a pre-defined Docker container provided by Continuent containing Apache, PHP, HAProxy and the Dashboard.

This blog post will walk you through configuring HA Proxy for the Tungsten Dashboard, along with the new command `tpm generate-haproxy-for-api` which helps automate the process by translating existing INI files into haproxy.cfg config file format. The Tungsten Dashboard is a browser-based GUI, designed to make using a Tungsten Cluster as easy as possible.

Following on from our recent newsletter and the message from Eero Teerikorpi, Founder and CEO, in this blog I will set out the outline and plan for the work we are currently undertaking to make a number of changes within the terminology used in our product and communications.

Continuent is pleased to announce the 6.1.4 versions of its Tungsten Clustering and Tungsten Replicator software products for MySQL, MariaDB and Percona Server.

The new releases introduce support for the MySQL 8.0.20 binlog compression feature, improvements and fixes to command line tools, and more.

We’re also announcing the release of Tungsten Dashboard 1.0.8.
