Continuent, a leading provider of solutions for business-critical applications using MySQL and MariaDB databases, is releasing Tungsten Dashboard version 8, delivering significant improvements in operational efficiency, security, and user experience to further simplify the way administrators interact with their database clusters in real time.
"As today's data environments become more distributed and demanding, IT teams need a unified solution that delivers real-time insight, secure access and operational control without added complexity," said Eero Teerikorpi, CEO of Continuent. "Tungsten Dashboard v8 brings these capabilities together in one streamlined user interface. It makes it easier for teams to monitor, manage and scale their MySQL and MariaDB infrastructure with confidence, clarity and control."
Tungsten Dashboard has long provided organizations with a centralized view of their multi-site, multi-primary—active/passive and active/active—MySQL deployments. With support for seamless management and monitoring of complex topologies, the dashboard has been a core tool for reducing administrative overhead and enhancing cluster reliability. Tungsten Dashboard v8 builds on this foundation with a suite of new features designed to make cluster operations more intuitive, secure, and responsive, according to the company.
Key enhancements include:
- Real-time cluster monitoring enables instant visibility into cluster health and status.
- User-friendly operation triggers allow administrators to execute commands more easily and safely.
- Advanced filtering and search tools streamline the discovery of specific resources or events within large cluster environments.
- Simplified deployment through support for Docker Compose and Helm accelerates installation and onboarding.
- End-to-end encryption of sensitive data ensures data integrity and confidentiality.
- Role-based user management enables granular access control, supporting compliance with security policies.
- Token-based authentication and full SSL support provide secure, end-to-end communication—from the user's browser, through the dashboard frontend and backend, and all the way to the cluster nodes.
- Publish/subscribe architecture over persistent TCP connections reduces latency and ensures fast updates without overloading cluster resources.
- Low-impact design minimizes performance degradation during active monitoring.
- Automatic cluster discovery from a single entry point accelerates setup and simplifies operations in dynamic environments.
Tungsten Dashboard v8 is available now for existing customers and can be installed as a standalone component or alongside new and existing Tungsten Clusters. Installation and upgrade instructions are available in the official documentation.
