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, 2025.1, includes a number of new features, as well as improvements and issue resolutions. ## New Features ### Attaching and Initializing Apache Ignite 3 Clusters You can now [Attach Apache Ignite 3 clusters](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/getting-started/connect/connect-ignite-3-cluster.md) by running the "add cluster" workflow from the main Nebula toolbar. Once the cluster had been attached, you can [initialize it](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/gg9/dashboard/my-cluster.md#initializing-the-cluster) via the **My cluster** screen. ### Streamlined OpenID Connect This release streamlines your experience when logging in to Control Center via OpenID in a variety of ways: * If [OpenID Authenticator](https://www.gridgain.com/docs/latest/administrators-guide/security/authentication#control-center-openid-authentication) is configured on a GridGain 8.9.18 or later cluster, you can use the same credentials for logging in to Control Center and working with the cluster. * Users can be assigned administrator or user roles, or banned from Control Center by using OpenID attributes. * A new `account.internal.enabled` allows to disable login via e-mail altogether. You can see detailed instructions for enabling OpenID Connect in the [OpenID Connect Authentication](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/admin-guide/open-id.md) documentation. ### Partition Recovery in GridGain 9 Clusters With this release, you can identify and recover lost table partitions on your GridGain 9 clusters directly from Control Center. In the new **Disaster Recovery** tab of the [Table](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/gg9/tables.md) screen, you can see partition states, and run partition recovery if necessary. ### Running Queries Monitoring on GridGain 9 Clusters You can now monitor running queries for your GridGain 9 clusters in the [Queries](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/gg9/querying-gg9.md) screen. In the **Running Queries** tab, you can track query performance and see the current query status. ### Cloud Connector The new [Cloud Connector](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/gg9/cloud-connector/connect-cloud-connector.md) tool can be used to simplify connection to GridGain 9 and Apache Ignite 3 clusters. Cloud Connector can collect data from your cluster and establishing a connection to Control Center. This can be used in environments where direct access to the cluster from Control Center is not possible. You can still use the Control Center-initiated connection by using the provided Embedded connector. ## Improvements and Resolved Issues ### Control Center Changes | Issue ID | Category | Description | | -------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | CC-10641 | General | Removed outdated lucene module from internal GridGain. | | CC-10633 | General | Updated internal GridGain from version 8.9.7 to version 8.9.18. | | CC-10620 | General | Added support for GridGain 9.0.16. | | CC-10433 | General | Updated Spring Boot from version 3.2 to version 3.4. | | CC-10401 | General | You can now use GridGain Cloud Connector to attach GridGain 9 and Apache Ignite 3 clusters. | | CC-10337 | General | You can now restart partitions or recover lost partitions from Control Center. | | CC-10326 | General | Improved Cloud Connector performance by reducing the amount of required handshakes. | | CC-10314 | General | You can now work with Apache Ignite 3 attached clusters. | | CC-10180 | General | Updated querydsl version from version 5.0.0 to version 6.10.1. | | CC-10090 | General | Improved the process of resuming GridGain 9 managed clusters. | | CC-10074 | General | You can now skip account registration when using OpenID Connect to log in. | | CC-10040 | General | It is now possible to view and manage metrics for GridGain 9 clusters in the UI. | | CC-9999 | General | It is now possible to create and manage users in the Control Center UI. | | CC-9871 | Authentication | You can now disable user account creation in Control Center. | | CC-9710 | Queries | The Execute button in the Query screen is now greyed out during the query execution. | ## Updating to 2025.1 You can update Control Center to 2025.1 from 2022.2 and more recent versions.
