What’s New in ScyllaDB Monitoring Stack 3.0

ScyllaDB Monitoring Stack 3.0 introduces significant updates aimed at improving user experience and efficiency, including a reorganization of dashboards, an upgrade to Grafana version 6, and a cleanup of metrics. The dashboards have been simplified to make navigation easier, with updated names and URLs that better represent their content. The Overview dashboard provides a quick glance at cluster activity and node status, while the Detail dashboard offers in-depth insights into node operations, organized into sections such as Read and Writes, Memory, Cache, and Materialized Views. The update also involves a shift to node_exporter 0.17 for OS metrics reporting, requiring a check for compatibility and potential upgrades. Additionally, the stack now utilizes Python 3 for dashboard generation and genconfig utilities. The updated stack is open-source and available for download on GitHub, with feedback encouraged via private contact or their Slack channel.
