Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) 1.17.0 Is Now Available

Percona Monitoring and Management 1.17.0 (PMM) is a free and open-source platform for managing and monitoring MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL performance. You can run Percona Monitoring and Management 1.17.0 in your own environment for maximum security and reliability. It provides thorough time-based analysis for MySQL®, MongoDB®, and PostgreSQL® servers to ensure that your data works as efficiently as possible.

Although we patched a bug this release related to a Grafana CVE announcement, previous releases since 1.10 (April 2018) were not vulnerable, and we encourage you to see our Grafana CVE blog post for further details.

In this release, we made six improvements and fixed 11 bugs.

Dashboard Improvements

We updated five Dashboards with improved Tooltips – If you haven’t seen this before, hover your mouse over the  icon in the top left of most graph elements, and you’ll see a new box appear.  This box provides a brief description of what the graph displays, along with links to related documentation resources so you can learn further.  We hope you find the content useful!

The Dashboards we’re updating are:

1. MySQL Amazon Aurora Metrics
2. MySQL MyISAM/Aria Metrics
3. MySQL Replication
4. Prometheus Exporters Overview
5. Trends

We hope you enjoy this release, and we welcome your feedback via the Percona PMM Forums!
