Changed Features
Watchdog
The systemd watchdog is now safe to use in all circumstances.
By default it is enabled with a timeout of 60 seconds.
Readwritesplit
connection_keepalive
The default value of connection_keepalive
is now 300 seconds. This prevents
the connections from dying due to wait_timeout with longer sessions. This is
especially helpful with pooled connections that stay alive for a very long time.
MariaDBMonitor
The monitor by default assumes that hostnames used by MaxScale to connect to the backends
are equal to the ones backends use to connect to each other. Specifically, for the slave
connections to be properly detected the Master_Host
and Master_Port
fields of the
output to "SHOW ALL SLAVES STATUS"-query must match server entries in the MaxScale
configuration file. If the network configuration is such that this is not the case, the
setting assume_unique_hostnames
should be disabled.
