GridGain Nebula July 23 2024 Release Notes

What’s New in This Release

GridGain® Nebula is a is a cloud-native, fully-managed service for Apache® Ignite™ and GridGain® Platform. Nebula eliminates the complexity of configuring, provisioning, managing, optimizing and scaling Apache® Ignite™ and GridGain® in cloud or hybrid environments. You can spend less time managing platform instances and more time building high-performance, scalable applications.

The latest Nebula release, July 23 2024, includes a number of new features, as well as improvements and issue resolutions.

New Features

Dashboard Export and Import

You can now export the current dashboard’s definition (including widgets, layout, etc.) as a JSON file. You can then import this JSON file into another environment and have the dashboard whose definition it contains added to your UI, with no need for additional configurations.

The Export and Import operations can be initiated from the context menus in the Dashboards screen.

New Dashboard Widgets

Two new widgets were added that allow you to monitor additional metrics:

  • SQL query - the results of an SQL query, updated at a specified frequency (SELECT only)

  • System view - the selected system view table, updated at a specified frequency

You can add these widgets to any of the predefined or custom dashboards.

Parameter-based Filtering for Widgets

You can use the dashboard parameters to limit the widget scope to specific:

  • Node(s)

  • Cache(s)

  • Cache group(s)

Each widget collects metrics according to its configuration. This does not change when you apply filtering parameters. What does change is what the widget shows in the UI. For example, if a widget is configured to collect the CacheSize metric for caches A, B, and C, and the parameter filters the widget to cache A, the widget will keep collecting CacheSize for all three caches, but it will display the data only for cache A.
