Use Control Center to query data across caches, monitor performance metrics, define and track production alerts, take snapshots for backup and recovery, and collect and analyze API traces. The latest Control Center release, 2024.4, includes a number of new features, as well as improvements and issue resolutions. ## New Features The main "news" in this release is the ability to use more Control Center capabilities when working with [GridGain 9](https://www.gridgain.com/docs/gridgain9/latest/index) clusters. {% hint style="info" %} If you are not working with GridGain 9 clusters, you can [disable the GridGain 9 connector](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/admin-guide/configuration.md#gridgain-9-connector-configuration), thus simplifying your environment configuration. {% endhint %} ### Viewing GridGain 9 Cluster Metrics You can now view [metrics from GridGain 9 clusters](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/gg9/dashboard/dashboard-overview-gg9.md) in the Control Center **Dashboard** screen, including the **Default** tab and any custom tabs you add. [Alerts](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/gg9/alerting.md) can also be configured and monitored now for GridGain 9 clusters. ### Managing Snapshots for GridGain 9 Clusters You can now [create and manage snapshots](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/gg9/snapshots/snapshots-gg9.md), as well as [view snapshot operation history](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/gg9/snapshots/operation-history-gg9.md), for GridGain 9 clusters in the **Snapshots** screen. ### Managing Users and Adding Users in Bulk As an admin Control Center user, you can now [edit user details](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/admin-guide/managing-users.md) in the **User management** tab of the **Admin** screen. You can also create new users in bulk, by importing a CSV file into Control Center. ## Improvements and Resolved Issues | Issue ID | Category | Description | | -------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | CC-10122 | Monitoring | Dashboards now refer to GridGain 8 and Apache Ignite nodes by their consistent ID, and to GridGain 9 nodes - by node name. | | CC-10115 | Alerting | Control Center now supports alerting for GridGain 9 clusters. | | CC-9996 | General | The TTL parameter defaults for queries, traces, and compute tasks are changed from 7 days to 1 day. | | CC-9984 | Queries | Query size warning is now visible in both light and dark themes. | | CC-9940 | Monitoring | You can now monitor metrics for GridGain 9 clusters via Control Center UI. | | CC-9878 | Monitoring | Fixed an issue with cursor losing position over a gap in the chart widget. | | CC-9747 | General | You can now manage snapshots and view snapshot operation history for GridGain 9 clusters. | | CC-9744 | General | When attaching GridGain 9 clusters, you can now specify client connection configuration. | | CC-9737 | Tables | Fixed the node filter to not reset in the Tables screen.A | | CC-9691 | General | You can now show client nodes in the "My cluster" screen. | | CC-9600 | Queries | The date that shows for failed SQL queries to GridGain 9 clusters is now correct. | | CC-9592 | Queries | It is now possible to see the database tree for GridGain 9 clusters. | | CC-9585 | General | Administrator users can now import new users from a CSV file. | | CC-9579 | Queries | Responses to the same SQL query against GridGain 9 cluster are now grouped in the same tab. | | CC-9444 | Monitoring | Added options to update data every 5 or 30 seconds in the SQL widget. | | CC-9416 | General | Upon triggering, alerts are no longer stuck in the Alerting status. | | CC-9159 | Metrics | Control Center can now properly handle metrics for caches with dots in name. | | CC-9002 | General | Control Center no longer requires a connection to GridGain website to get an up-to-date list of Apache Ignite agent versions. | | CC-7430 | General | Control Center no longer displays ambiguous error messages associated with network issues. | | CC-1507 | General | Administrator users can now can create and edit users in the UI. | ## Updating to 2024.4 You can update Control Center to 2024.4 from 2022.2 and more recent versions.
