# MaxScale 22.08 Changelog

* Sessions can now be restarted so that added server are taken into use.
* Sessions can now be killed using maxctrl.
* MariaDBMonitor can use mariadb-backup to clone the contents of a server.
* MariaDBMonitor can issue ColumnStore commands similar to CSMon
* MariaDBMonitor settings `ignore_external_masters`, `detect_replication_lagdetect_standalone_master`, `detect_stale_master` and `detect_stale_slave` have been removed. The first two were ineffective, the latter three are replaced by `master_conditions` and `slave_conditions`.
* A new Query Rewrite filter, using which queries can be rewritten based upon a template, has been added.
* MaxScale no longer logs to both the SystemD journal and MaxScale log by default: the default value of `syslog` was changed from `true` to `false` to reduce the amount of redundant log messages that are logged. To retain the old behavior of logging to both MaxScale's own files and to the SystemD journal, add `syslog=true` under the `[maxscale]` section.
* The `dbfwfilter` module that was deprecated in version 6 has now been removed.
* MaxGUI Query Editor has changed the type of browser storage from local storage to IndexedDB. As the result, query history, favorite, and configuration are reset. Apart from that, query favorite was renamed to query snippets allowing to quickly insert the query to the editor by typing its prefix. See MaxGUI tutorial [Using-MaxGUI-Tutorial](/docs/maxscale/maxscale-archive/archive/mariadb-maxscale-22.08/mariadb-maxscale-2208-tutorials/mariadb-maxscale-2208-using-maxgui-tutorial.md)
* The Xpand monitor now handles group change explicitly.
* The `Maintenance|Drain` state of a server is now synchronized between multiple MaxScale instances if configuration synchronization is enabled.
* Causal reads now supported in a multi-MaxScale setup.
* The [csmon](/docs/maxscale/maxscale-archive/archive/mariadb-maxscale-22.08/mariadb-maxscale-2208-monitors/mariadb-maxscale-2208-columnstore-monitor.md) and [auroramon](/docs/maxscale/maxscale-archive/archive/mariadb-maxscale-22.08/mariadb-maxscale-2208-monitors/mariadb-maxscale-2208-aurora-monitor.md) monitors are deprecated in 22.08.2 and will be removed in 23.02.0.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mariadb.com/docs/release-notes/maxscale/22.08/22.08-changelog.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
