Performance Management
Enhanced performance dashboards for MySQL, Galera Cluster, PostgreSQL & ProxySQL
Since October 2018, ClusterControl users have access to a set of monitoring dashboards that have Prometheus as the data source with its flexible query language and multi-dimensional data model, where time series data is identified by metric name and key/value pairs.
The advantage of this new agent-based monitoring infrastructure is that users can enable their database clusters to use Prometheus exporters to collect metrics on their nodes and hosts, thus avoiding excessive SSH activity for monitoring and metrics collections and use SSH connectivity only for management operations.
These Prometheus exporters can now be installed or enabled Prometheus on your nodes and hosts with MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB based clusters. And you have the possibility to customize collector flags for the exporters (Prometheus), which allows you to disable collecting from MySQL’s performance schema for example, if you experience load issues on your server.
This allows for greater accuracy and customization options while monitoring your database clusters. ClusterControl takes care of installing and maintaining Prometheus as well as exporters on the monitored hosts.
With this 1.7.1 release, ClusterControl now also comes with the next iteration of the following (new) dashboards:
- System Overview
- Cluster Overview
- MySQL Server – General
- MySQL Server – Caches
- MySQL InnoDB Metrics
- Galera Cluster Overview

Deployment
Create a cluster from backup for MySQL & PostgreSQL
To be able to deliver database and application changes more quickly, several tasks must be automated. It can be a daunting job to ensure that a development team has the latest database build for the test when there is a proliferation of copies, and the production database is in use.
ClusterControl provides a single process to create a new cluster from backup with no impact on the source database system.
With this new release, you can easily create MySQL Galera or PostgreSQL including the data from backup you need.
Backup Management
ClusterControl Backup/Restore
ClusterControl users can use this new feature to migrate a setup from one controller to another controller; and backup the meta-data of an entire controller or individual clusters from the s9s CLI. The backup can then be restored on a new controller with a new hostname/IP and the restore process will automatically recreate database access privileges. Check it out!
