On Tuesday, May 24th, we were discussing and demonstrating the latest version of ClusterControl, the one-stop console for your entire database infrastructure. We introduced some cool new features for MySQL and MongoDB users in particular and walked through the work we’d recently done for improved security. Our colleagues Johan Andersson (CTO), Vinay Joosery (CEO) and Ashraf Sharif (System Support Engineer) demonstrated how you can deploy, monitor, manage and scale your databases on the technology stack of your choice with ClusterControl.

Improved Security
¤ Controller RPC API Token which enables token
authentication.
¤ Prevents non-authorized users accessing controller data.
¤ Specified by rpc_key in cmon_X.cnf, e.g:
¤ rpc_key=OkC32YcxgshPk1m1
¤ Custom scripts/applications utilizing the RPC API need
to pass the correct token for the clusters.
