==========
Changes in MySQL Enterprise Monitor 3.1.5
Functionality Added or Changed
* Important Change: The bundled sys schema is upgraded to version
1.5.1.
Important: If you have installed an older version of sys schema on
your monitored instances, it is recommended to upgrade to the latest
version. The upgrade must be performed from the command line. It is
not currently possible to upgrade sys schema from MySQL Enterprise
Service Manager.
* Important Change: As of this release, it is not possible to use
MySQL Server 5.1 or 5.5 as the MySQL Enterprise Monitor repository.
The installer displays an error and the installation process stops.
* The query collection for Query Analyzer was improved in this
release. (Bug #22179215)
* The required privileges for configuring a non-bundled repository
were updated in this release. (Bug #21534737)
* The Tomcat server, bundled with the MySQL Enterprise Service
Manager, has been upgraded to 7.0.69.
* The Warnings Not Being Logged advisor text was updated.
* Events for any future-dated asset which is not an agent, OS, or
MySQL instance, are deleted. Under certain circumstances, these
events contained empty fields.
* The following commands are added to the MySQL Enterprise Service
Manager configuration utility (config.sh/config.bat):
o --renew: renews the existing self-signed certificate.
o --import-certificate=<value>: imports the defined certificate
o --import-key=<value>: imports the defined private key.
* The OpenSSL libraries used by the MySQL Enterprise Monitor
installers and MySQL Enterprise Monitor Aggregator have been
upgraded to 1.0.1u.
* The bundled JRE was updated to 1.8.0_102 for both the Agent and
Service Manager.
* The MySQL database, bundled with the MySQL Enterprise Service
Manager, has been upgraded to MySQL 5.6.34.
Bugs Fixed
* The documentation did not specify the correct format for the ssl-ca-
keystore-path parameter. It was listed as a file path, but is a URL.
For example:
ssl-ca-keystore-path=file:///mysql/enterprise/agent/etc/mykeystore
(Bug #24386496)
* The InnoDB Redo Log Pending Writes graph was not displayed for MySQL
5.7 instances. (Bug #23563358)
* The Event Handler Asset column did not display any assets for the
eleventh handler created. That is, the Asset column correctly
displayed assets for the first 10 event handlers, but did not for
any other event handler. (Bug #23543149)
* The LDAP and SSL documentation did not contain information on how to
connect to LDAP servers which implement AES256. (Bug #23507489)
* The following variables were missing from the Fulltext Search
section of the MySQL Instance InnoDB tab:
o innodb_ft_enable_diag_print
o innodb_ft_result_cache_limit
o innodb_ft_total_cache_size
(Bug #23474063)
* LDAP configuration settings were not validated by the upgrade
process. Some of the fields were empty.
As of this release, default values are added to the empty fields.
(Bug #23299301)
* LDAP configuration was not validated when saved. As a result, if the
LDAP connection information was incorrectly configured,
NullPointerExceptions were logged, and it was not possible to
connect to the LDAP server. (Bug #23299288)
* Under certain circumstances, when monitoring MySQL 5.7, warnings
were generated in Query Analyzer due to a conflict between the
default mysql_mode and the mysql_mode set by MySQL Enterprise
Monitor. (Bug #23033046)
* It was possible to check/uncheck the assets in the Select Instances
field on the Edit Replication Group tab, although the selection or
deselection had no effect on the contents of the replication group.
Replication groups are populated dynamically, not manually. (Bug
#22620609)
* The certificate to keystore upgrade process attempted to use the
system's openSSL installation instead of that delivered with the
installer. As a result, if openSSL was not installed on the system,
the upgrade failed. As of this release, the upgrade only uses the
openSSL libraries delivered with the installer. (Bug #22522309)
* Under certain circumstances, deleting events resulted in a long-
running query which generated empty events. (Bug #22247688)
* The MySQL Enterprise Service Manager utility config.sh returned a
stack trace for unsupported commands, instead of redirecting the
user to the help.
* Custom agent service names were not maintained by the agent upgrade
process. The custom name was overwritten by the default agent
service name, MySQLEnterpriseMonitorAgent.
* The advice page generated by the MySQL Enterprise Backup Health
advisor contained broken links to the InnoDB chapters of the MySQL
Reference Manual. It also incorrectly referred to the --start-lsn
option as the --lsn option.
* On certain browser versions, the symbol << was transformed to Â<<.
* A message about keystore loading was logged every minute by the
certificate loader. The log level for this message was changed to
reduce the unnecessary log entries.
