  • SQL Search - back button from selected result to result list loses selected instance

  • Activity Comparison - missing wait time in statement detail.
  • Can't edit or delete 3rd-party links or Tags in Settings.
  • Charts overlaid on top of left nav menu for narrow screen resolutions.
  • Grouped Activity - Clicking on an Grouped Statement Id will redirect to an empty page.
  • Database activity - The time of some events is inconsistent.
  • Statement - The events are not displayed on the graphic chart.
  • Statement activity - The number of events is not updating.
  • Alert Rules - cannot create Instance Activity alerts.
  • Statement Activity - The events are not positioned in the correct bucket.
  • Statements - The event type is displayed incorrectly.
  • Group Statement - The link from the alerts tooltip redirects to an incorrect page.
  • The events are not displayed on the charts if the timezone is changed to UTC.
  • Instance Detail - switching instances via the selector - the pie charts do NOT update and show data for previous instance.

Known Issues​

  • If you are monitoring a server which requires TLS v1.0 or v1.1 which are now obsolete you will need to edit ./lib/security/java.security to change disabledAlgorithms and restart the DBmarlin Tomcat. See this FAQ for more details.
  • Parameter Comparison and Activity Comparison reports will only show instances in the dropdown where SQL Statistics are collected. This will be resolved in v5.2 to show the full list of instances.
  • For CockroachDB Transaction Contention monitoring, it is possible that you could see a duplicate key warning the the log file. This warning is related to aggregation of this data failing. The impact of this is that in the UI, you will only be able to see Transaction Contention data if the interval size is 1 hour or less (E.g. 5 mins, 15 mins). This would be the default when looking at a period of 1 day. For longer time ranges you will not be able to see data. This will be fixed in v5.4 of DBmarlin.
