Hello Fleety friends! We've just released Fleet 3....

Hello Fleety friends! We've just released Fleet 3.11.0 on GitHub and Docker Hub. This release includes a new software inventory feature, quick access to saved queries on the host details page, and a significant improvement to steady-state mysql performance. Check out the full release notes at https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/releases/tag/3.11.0. Please note software inventory is flagged off by default as we are not yet confident in its performance characteristics on larger Fleet deployments. See https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/master/docs/2-Deployment/2-Configuration.md#software-inventory for information on enabling it. We would hugely appreciate anyone who can provide before/after MySQL performance stats when flipping this flag on a larger (5k+ hosts) deployment. <!here>

Hi, do you mean performance of Fleet and the Fleet database, or do you expect a performance impact on the hosts themselves?
I’m happy to try this feature out on my fleet, we’ve only 1,400 hosts though.
Are there any particular MySQL stats you want @zwass?
z
It's the Fleet database we are concerned about. If you can get graphs or averages of MySQL CPU utilization before and after enabling the feature that would be very helpful!
r
ok, let me see 🙂
I went straight to 3.11.0 from 3.9.0 with the feature flag enabled though
@zwass if this is helpful, you can see a fairly massive drop in I/O and active queries, which is nice!
this is running on a GCP Cloud SQL instance FYI
MySQL 5.7 though.
z
Well that's great! The host status optimization in 3.11 is doing its job!
Thanks for the stats 🙂
r
yeah looking good
I’m also getting good feedback from my team about the UI improvements 🙂
