What’s New in ScyllaDB Monitoring Stack 2.3

ScyllaDB Monitoring Stack 2.3 introduces several enhancements aimed at improving robustness, security, and usability, particularly with the upcoming ScyllaDB Enterprise 2019.1 release. Notable changes include pre-generated Grafana dashboards to eliminate the dependency on Python, refined Docker container usage to mitigate permission issues without resorting to insecure workarounds, and the ability to override Prometheus alert and Alertmanager configuration files via the command line. The release also enhances the genconfig.py utility for better configuration of datacenters and clusters, while adding new panels to the CQL optimization dashboard to identify cross-shard traffic and a disk usage panel for tracking disk space over time. These updates are designed to streamline the monitoring process and bolster security, with ScyllaDB encouraging user feedback on the open-source platform available on GitHub.
