Spitfire 1.3 release notes
- Data sources page: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Nginx/Apache and more connect with a read-only user; the managed Collector beside a Tower gathers their metrics into Spitfire. Oracle is open as Beta.
- A copyable read-only grant and numbered steps per kind: grant, address, connection test from the Tower, save. A failed test names the reason (DNS, refused, timeout, TLS, auth, permission, database not found).
- A ready dashboard and simple threshold findings for every data source; Kubernetes clusters can be added as cloud accounts/clusters, MongoDB Atlas and Prometheus endpoints as data sources.
- License: data source and cloud account/cluster limits next to servers (Free 1/—, Starter 2/1, Growth 5/2, Scale 15/5, Enterprise unlimited) and add-on packs. Old keys' metric database limit counts as data sources.
- Setup guides in TR and EN for databases, queues, search, web servers and cloud/Kubernetes, each ending with a success check.
