RHQ 4.9 released

It is a pleasure for me to announce on behalf of the RHQ development team the immediate availability of RHQ 4.9

Features

Some of the new features since RHQ 4.8 are:

• Metric charts have been further improved

• Cassandra database for Metrics now supports multiple nodes

• More detailed bundle permissions

• Layered plugins can now get discovery results and further modify them Discovery Callbacks on the Wiki

• Enhancements to DynaGroups

Be sure to read the release notes and the installation documents.

Note

For security reasons we have made changes to the installation in the sense that there is no more default password for the rhqadmin super user. Also the default bind address of 0.0.0.0 has been removed. You need to set them before starting the installation.

If you are upgrading from RHQ 4.8 you need to run a script to remove the native components from Cassandrabefore the upgrade. Otherwise RHQ 4.9 will fail to start.

Thanks

Special thanks goes to
