| 3 | +Tarantool Cluster Manager 1.1 |
| 4 | +============================= |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +Release date: May 16, 2024 |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Latest release in series: 1.1.0 |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +|tcm_full_name| 1.1 introduces a number of new features that extend and improve its |
| 11 | +cluster management capabilities. Below is an overview of its key updates. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +.. _tcm_releases_1_1_data_access: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Data access |
| 16 | +----------- |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +An important update of |tcm| 1.1.0 is a set of features that enable access to clusters' |
| 19 | +stored data. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +The instance *space explorer* shows all spaces that exist on an instance, including |
| 22 | +system spaces. On its pages, you can view and edit the stored data. To open the instance explorer, |
| 23 | +find the instance on the cluster stateboard and click its name to open its details page. |
| 24 | +Then click **Explorer** in the **Actions** menu in the top right corner. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +In the development mode, the instance explorer also includes the *schema editor*. |
| 27 | +It allows you to add new and edit existing spaces. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +For clusters that use the `CRUD <https://github.com/tarantool/crud>`__ module, |
| 30 | +there is also the *CRUD explorer* that enables access to data in user spaces across |
| 31 | +the entire cluster. The CRUD explorer is located on the **Tuples** page. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +.. _tcm_releases_1_1_acl: |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Access control list |
| 36 | +------------------- |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +|tcm|'s *access control list* (*ACL*) enables control over user access to particular spaces |
| 39 | +and stored functions in the web interface. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +For each user that has access to a cluster, you can enable the use of ACL on this cluster. |
| 42 | +This restricts this user's access to the cluster's spaces and functions unless they |
| 43 | +are explicitly specified in the ACL. The ACL must contain an entry for each such |
| 44 | +space and function. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Users with ACL off have access to all spaces and functions on clusters according |
| 47 | +to their cluster permissions. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +The tools for managing ACL are located on the new **ACL** page. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +.. _tcm_releases_1_1_api_tokens: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +API tokens |
| 54 | +---------- |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +|tcm| 1.1 supports token authentication of external requests. Users can generate |
| 57 | +API tokens in their user settings dialog. An API token has the same permissions |
| 58 | +as its creator. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +.. _tcm_releases_1_1_stateboard: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Stateboard improvements |
| 63 | +----------------------- |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +|tcm| 1.1 extends the functionality of the cluster stateboard to improve the |
| 66 | +cluster management experience. Here are the key updates of the stateboard: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +- More flexible instance grouping. |
| 69 | +- Stateful failover and switchover controls. |
| 70 | +- Runtime issues on the stateboard. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +.. _tcm_releases_1_1_instance: |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +Instance interaction |
| 75 | +-------------------- |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +The instance management dialog has been extended with new functions: |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +- A new terminal that uses the :ref:`tt interactive console <tt-interactive-console>`. |
| 80 | +- SQL query execution terminal. |
| 81 | +- Stored functions editor. |
| 82 | +- Slab visualization. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +.. _tcm_releases_1_1_metrics: |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +Cluster metrics |
| 87 | +--------------- |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +Starting from version 1.1.0, |tcm| displays metrics of connected clusters. |
| 90 | +You can view metrics in |tcm| one by one, visualizing them as charts or tables. |
| 91 | +The cluster metrics are shown on the new **Cluster metrics** page. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +For more complex monitoring, you can use dedicated solutions, for example, Prometheus. |
| 94 | +It can integrate with |tcm| using the :ref:`API tokens <tcm_releases_1_1_api_tokens>`. |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +.. _tcm_releases_1_1_config: |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +Configuration validation |
| 99 | +------------------------ |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +The cluster configuration editor now validates the configuration semantically. |
| 102 | +Previously, |tcm| was able to highlight the syntax errors in configurations, for example, |
| 103 | +incorrect spelling of option names or hierarchy. In |tcm| 1.1.0, the editor |
| 104 | +checks and highlights possible semantic issues, such as: |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +- Users without passwords. |
| 107 | +- Users with the ``super`` role. |
| 108 | +- Absence of leader instances in replica sets. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +.. _tcm_releases_1_1_tutorial: |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +Onboarding tutorial |
| 113 | +------------------- |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +|tcm| 1.1.0 includes an interactive tutorial that takes new users through its |
| 116 | +main features and pages. It opens automatically after the first start. |
