Had an issue with $key_blocks_used that should read $Key_blocks_used – so, here’s the diff if you don’t feel like downloading the new release, you can just change those two variables on lines 695 and 697 in bin/kontroll-reporter-5.0.x_linux-x86-2.0.1.pl as follows: 695: $key_buffer_fill = ($key_blocks_used / $key_blocks_total); 607: $key_buffer_ratio = (100 * ($key_blocks_used / $key_blocks_total));

I know a lot of people don’t like registering to download programs (even free ones), but in this case I would like people to register on the site with a valid email address so that I can notify users of new upgrades, security fixes, etc. I’ve had several support requests to fix items that have [...]

Some good changes in this release as usual. There have been some more additions to the analytics, some speed up of the UI and login process, and some long awaited fixed for form Vtypes. In addition to those items, I’m a particular fan of the new Analytics Export tab that lets you grab all of [...]

For those of you that are interested in the schema of Kontrollbase I have two files. One is a MySQL Workbench version and one is an exported PDF version. The ’server_statistics’ table is rather large, so you won’t see all of the fields on that table unless you open the mwb file and check it [...]

Just saw that my usage bill from the EC2 instances was over $400 since I started that up not too long ago. Therefore it is not a cost effective method to use for a demo application. I’ll be recording a walk-through of using the application soon so that new users can see what Kontrollbase offers [...]

There’s a new script in kontrolbase that speeds up the login process by up to 50%. I highly recommend every user to upgrade to the latest version of the svn release. Otherwise you can grab the file here: http://code.google.com/p/kontrollbase/source/browse/trunk/bin/kontroll-query_cache_preload.pl Read more about the script and how it works here: http://kontrollsoft.com/forum/kontrollbase-issues-and-solutions/query-cache-preload-script-speeds-up-login-by-50#p22

The Kontrollbase demo server will be back online this week. In order to give you, the users, a taste of free monitoring and all of the benefits of Kontrollbase without the work of installing the application we are offering to monitor your servers for free. We will be offering a full privacy contract, only collecting [...]

Ohloh is a fun site. It automatically collects statistics and show some useful analytics about your subversion projects. They picked up Kontrollbase when they ran an automated scan against the Google Code website and I saw it using Google Alerts with the ‘kontrollbase’ keyword alert. Check out the page they have for Kontrollbase and give [...]

So we have gone through over 200 revisions for Kontrollbase version 2.0.1 and the team is internally discussing which new features and current open tickets should be added and/or addressed for the 2.0.2 milestone release. Here is your chance to push your ideas and wants into the next major release. So, before shooting off [...]
