Welcome to the February release of ClusterControl. In this release we have a few nice improvements for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MySQL.

As a reminder, starting with ClusterControl version 1.9.7, the legacy web application (CCv1) is no longer the default. These features are now exclusively accessible through the ClusterControl v2 (CCv2) web application or the s9s command-line tool.

Key Features by Database

PostgreSQL

  • Major upgrades (e.g., upgrade from v13 to v14).
  • pgvector extension support.

MongoDB

  • Minor upgrades.
  • Support for users’ self-signed certificate configuration.
  • CMON connects with ‘mongo’ using –tlsAllowInvalidCertificates for some specific MongoDB configuration cases.

  • net.tls.certificateKeyFile, net.tls.CAFile are set and net.tls.CAFile.allowInvalidCertificates:true.

MySQL

  • DB Status and Variable pages.
  • Add replicas (add primary with Galera, and create replica cluster) with identical software version – major.minor.patch – as the primary node(s).

General

  • Web SSH console for CCv2.
    • In an existing installation: Add these lines to the /etc/apache2/config.d/cc-frontend.conf file:
<Location /cmon-ssh/cmon/ws/>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/cmon-ssh/cmon/ws/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ws://127.0.0.1:9511/cmon/ws/%1 [P,L]
</Location>

<LocationMatch /cmon-ssh/>
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:9511/
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:9511/
</LocationMatch>
# Existing installation: Add the line below to the section <LocationMatch /api/v2/> or <LocationMatch "^/v2/(?!cc-license).*$"> inside cc-proxy.conf
Header edit Set-Cookie ^(.*)$ "$1; Path=/"
  • UI/UX improvements for CCv2.

Features

Major Upgrades for PostgreSQL

In-place upgrade using the pg_upgrade tool which upgrades the data files to the next major PostgreSQL version, e.g., v14 to v15.

Options:

    • Copy the old cluster’s data set to the new cluster’s data directory. This requires disk space enough to hold the size of two data sets.
    • Using hard-links (--links) instead of copying files. It’s faster than copying the files, you don’t need double the disk space however one limitation is that you cannot use the old cluster once the new cluster has started.
    • pg_dumpall, this is a failsafe option in case there are issues with pg_upgrade performing successfully.

Pgvector with PostgreSQL

Pgvector is an open-source extension for PostgreSQL that enables storing and searching over machine learning-generated embeddings. It provides several capabilities that allow users to identify both exact and approximate nearest neighbors, making it a powerful tool for applications such as search, recommendation, and anomaly detection.
ClusterControl supports pgvector by enabling this extension with our PostgreSQL deployment wizard through an additional ‘extensions’ step.

While we intend to add more extensions to PostgreSQL in future releases, pgvector is the only extension currently available for selection.

Minor upgrades with MongoDB

ClusterControl v1.9.8 now supports minor upgrades with MongoDB for replicaset and sharded clusters. Perform a major.minor version software package check and then initiate the upgrade process.

Miscellaneous

  • MySQL status and variables pages. List, search, and show the differences in the server status and configuration variables for MySQL-based clusters.
  • Additional cluster details header to show cluster and node status.
  • Grouped menu items – In this version we have grouped them where it makes sense and also added icons for more easily identifying certain groups of actions.
  • Shortcuts for the auto recovery options on a cluster were added to the cluster list to quickly be able to toggle it on or off without having to navigate through the cluster menu.
