Summary

The SingleStore Tools is a new set of command line programs that help manage clusters of servers or instances making up the database. It allows users to quickly find and fix problems with SingleStore by utilizing two new commands, memsql-report collect and memsql-report check, which are based on an internal tool called ClusteRx developed by the support team. These tools provide point-in-time health assessments for the SingleStore system, enabling users to troubleshoot issues such as intermittent query failures and identify potential causes. The memsql-report check command has 55 different pass/fail checkers that can be used to validate various aspects of the cluster, including memory usage, disk space, and CPU performance. By using these tools, customers can reduce break-to-fix times, improve their ability to troubleshoot issues, and ensure their SingleStore clusters are running efficiently.
