Release Details
For MariaDB – Backup Management Features
With MariaDB Server 10.1, the MariaDB team introduced MariaDB Compression and Data-at-Rest Encryption, which is supported by MariaDB Backup. It’s an open source tool provided by MariaDB (and a fork of Percona XtraBackup) for performing physical online backups of InnoDB, Aria and MyISAM tables.
ClusterControl 1.6.1 now features support for MariaDB Backup for MariaDB-based systems. Users can now easily create, restore and schedule backups for their MariaDB databases using MariaDB Backup – whether full or incremental. Let ClusterControl manage your backups, saving you time for the rest of the maintenance of your databases.
With ClusterControl 1.6.1, we also introduce support for MaxScale 2.2, MariaDB’s load balancing technology.

For PostgreSQL – Deployment & Configuration Management Features
ClusterControl 1.6.1 introduces new cloud deployment features for our PostgreSQL users. Whether you’re looking to deploy PostgreSQL nodes using management/public IPs for monitoring connections and data/private IPs for replication traffic; or you’re looking to deploy HAProxy using management/public IPs and private IPs for configurations – ClusterControl does it for you.
ClusterControl now also automates the deployment of Synchronous Replication Slaves for PostgreSQL. Synchronous replication offers the ability to confirm that all changes made by a transaction have been transferred to one or more synchronous standby servers, which allows you to build data-loss-less PostgreSQL clusters; and faster failovers.

Monitoring & Alerting Feature – ServiceNow
With this new release, we are pleased to announce that ServiceNow has been added as a new notifications integration to ClusterControl. This service management system provides technical management support (such as asset and license management) to the IT operations of large corporations, including help desk functionalities and is a very popular integration. This allows enterprises to connect ClusterControl with ServiceNow and benefit from both systems’ features.
