This blog provides an overview of sharding in MongoDB and how it can be used concurrently with other methods to achieve high availability.
Announcing the availability of our first white paper on ClusterControl, the only management system you’ll ever need to automate and manage your open source database infrastructure! Download ClusterControl - The Guide today!
This blog provides an overview of the new agent-based monitoring features for MySQL, Galera Cluster, PostgreSQL and ProxySQL in the ClusterControl 1.7 release.
In this webinar replay, we discuss how to effectively monitor distributed database clusters or replication setups for MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and MongoDB. We look at different types of monitoring infrastructures, from on-prem to cloud and from agent-based to agentless. Then we dive into the different monitoring features available in the free ClusterControl Community Edition - from time-series charts of metrics, dashboards and queries to performance advisors.
The idea behind ClusterControl operational reporting is to put all of the most relevant data into a single document which can be quickly analyzed in order to get a clear understanding of the status of the databases and its processes. This blog post shows how to leverage the ops report functionality to understand the state of your MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB and PostgreSQL infrastructure.
This blog post will show you how to add custom graphs to ClusterControl to monitor specific MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB or PostgreSQL metrics.
This blog post shows how to leverage ClusterControl performance monitoring and advisors functionality to keep your MySQL, MongoDB and/or PostgreSQL databases and clusters healthy.
MongoDB provides ReplicaSets to help you address high availability database requirements. Although support for replication and failover is built-in, it is not enough for the database to be considered production-ready. That requires a set of policies and procedures, like getting alerted in case of performance slowdowns, anomalies or failures in a live environment. Backups are essential. Being able to automatically recover from different types of failures can drastically reduce downtime.
This blog provides a high-level, developers view of achieving high availability with MongoDB using replica sets. It includes how-to instructions and tips and tricks for getting it right.
Agentless monitoring is the collection of performance metrics from databases without installing any agent software on the servers being monitored. This approach is easy to manage and gets you up and running within minutes.
This blog post describes how ClusterControl uses the agentless approach to monitor databases.
