ScyllaDB Monitoring Stack 2.0

ScyllaDB Monitoring Stack 2.0, announced by the ScyllaDB team, is an open-source monitoring solution for both ScyllaDB Enterprise and Open Source, utilizing Prometheus and Grafana for enhanced dashboard usability and improved underlying technology. The update introduces support for ScyllaDB Open Source versions 2.1 to 2.3, Enterprise versions 2017.x and 2018.x, and ScyllaDB Manager 1.1, with a notable shift to Prometheus version 2.3.2, which offers significant improvements in storage format but lacks backward compatibility with previous versions. This release includes features like multi-cluster and multi-data center dashboards, where users can filter charts by cluster or data center, and the identification of nodes by IP addresses instead of hostnames to unify metrics. The upgrade process, which may be complex due to the compatibility changes, is supported by guides and community resources, with enterprise users encouraged to seek proactive assistance from ScyllaDB.
