ProxySQL 2.0.7 and proxysql-admin Tool Now Available

ProxySQL 2.0.7, released by ProxySQL, is now available for download in the Percona Repository along with Percona’s proxysql-admin tool.

ProxySQL is a high-performance proxy, currently for MySQL and database servers in the MySQL ecosystem (like Percona Server for MySQL and MariaDB). It acts as an intermediary for client requests seeking resources from the database. René Cannaò created ProxySQL for DBAs as a means of solving complex replication topology issues.

This release includes ProxySQL 2.0.7 which introduces many new features and enhancements and also fixes a number of bugs.

The proxysql-admin tool now supports MariaDB 10.4.

New Features

• PSQLADM-204: Add support of MariaDB 10.4

Improvements

• PSQLADM-195: A new option --with-stats-reset has been added to the proxysql-status script to display the  *_reset tables from the stats database. If this option is not specified, these tables are not displayed by default.

Bugs Fixed

• PSQLADM-157: In some cases, the proxysql-status script used the cat command to display a file without checking if the file existed and was readable.
• PSQLADM-181: When run with --update-cluster --write-node=<node_name>, the proxysql-admin tool now verifies that the writer nodes are not read-only.

The ProxySQL 2.0.7 source and binary packages available from the Percona download page for ProxySQL include ProxySQL Admin – a tool developed by Percona to configure Percona XtraDB Cluster nodes into ProxySQL. Docker images for release 2.0.7 are available as well. You can download the original ProxySQL from GitHub. GitHub hosts the documentation in the wiki format.
