Tantor Labs (part of the "Astra Group") announces the release of a new version of the modular database (DB) administration and monitoring platform based on PostgreSQL Tantor 3.2.
The developer continues to release minor releases – Tantor 3.2 includes a number of improvements related to working with Patroni. The interface now displays information about the last cluster state update time, and a Cluster Config page has been added, allowing you to define common settings for all cluster nodes at once. The new version of the product has the ability to massively install Tantor platform agents on virtual machines through the Ansible configuration management system, which will make this process more convenient and efficient, especially for organizations with a large number of databases.
Tantor 3.2 also expanded functionality for working with Microsoft Active Directory. The list of users now displays the type of each: Local or external – AD, and their level of rights corresponds to the type. External users cannot edit their profiles, local users can only be added to internal groups, and the ability to include them in AD groups is blocked.
The Advanced Analytics system and the process of adding tokens have also been improved: after loading the logs, the calendar and the "Logs" button remain on the screen, and a Tokens page has appeared in the user profile where you can add a new device.
"Working with a database should be not only fast and secure, but also comfortable. Convenience consists of details and nuances. We try to keep up with the times, constantly developing and modernizing our product, listening to the wishes of users and implementing them in new versions. For example, improvements in working with user groups in Active Directory meet the needs of customers who are still using foreign solutions or are in the process of import substitution. Customers enthusiastically welcomed the support of Patroni clusters, were waiting for improvements to the tools for working with them, and we are happy to provide them with these tools", — said Vadim Yatsenko, CEO of Tantor Labs.
