Spread the word; Just added Kontrollbase to MySQL Forge: http://forge.mysql.com/projects/project.php?id=318
Archive for March, 2009
Today is a big day! The beta code is out and ready for downloading. This release does not have the branding or css changes that will be coming out soon – so for the time being you’ll be looking at the default css styling from the extjs library. Regardless, all of the features are working and the installer will hopefully make your experience painless.

PlanetMySQL.org test post
Mar 30
For some reason my posts aren’t getting over to the planet site, so here’s a test post before I actually write something that might be important.
This past week I moved my code repository from Google Code to FedoraHosted.org and I will say that I very much enjoy the features that Fedora-Hosted offers. Trac’s svn browser is far superior to whatever home-grown svn browser that google is using, the ticketing/bug section of Trac is also much easier to use and has more features. Even the wiki is more user friendly. Overall, Fedora-Hosted won me over in a big way.
In additon to the above items, you also are getting svn+ssh file transfers that utilize encryption and the ability to use git and several other repo management tools. I had some issues uploading my ssh key to the project admin page, and the guys that run the project are on IRC (#fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net)… within minutes they were helping me solve the issue and get my project up and running. Quality work, and you don’t get that kind of personal touch from google code.
Please check out the new website for Kontrollbase and Kontrollsoft. You’ll find tons of information about the application, and it will be the site for all news updates on the releases for Kontrollbase. I’ll still be posting here about my coding thoughts and work that I do on the apps, but the formal information will be on the new site. So check it out! http://kontrollsoft.com
Kontrollbase on IRC
Mar 26
Kontrollbase now has an IRC channel for all inquiries about the software. So if you need instant help on troubleshooting, installation, a request for a pre-beta copy, or just want to ham it up with a fellow mysql nerd, come on over. You can find it on irc.freenode.net #kontrollbase.
Here are some various screenshots from the pre-beta release of Kontrollbase. Things will change a bit for the actual beta release but these will give you an idea of what is to come. Here we see, in the following order: Overall environment view, Alert Management, Host overview, Host graphs.
