Release notes for GridGain Control Center 2025.4.1.

What's New in This Release

GridGain® Control Center is a comprehensive, customizable cluster management and developer tool for Apache® Ignite™ and GridGain applications. 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, 2025.4.1, includes a new feature, as well as improvements and issue resolutions.

GridGain 9 Connector Support Scope

GridGain Control Center supports GridGain 9 versions 9.0.17 and later and Apache Ignite 3.0.0.

You need to update Cloud Connector to the latest version (2025.4) to securely connect your GridGain 9 and Apache Ignite 3 clusters to Control Center.

New Features

Connect an External Cluster

Control Center now supports storing all application data in an external GridGain 8 cluster, providing higher durability and eliminating dependency on the local work directory. This enables stateless backend operation, streamlined restarts, and improved resilience.

Follow the step-by-step guide to connect an external cluster.
