OCT 16, 2023 • WRITTEN BY ROMAN AGABEKOV
Welcome back to our monthly product update!
Our dedication is paying off – in the past two months, we've witnessed a significant uptick in the popularity our services. Several hosting companies have integrated Releem on a large scale, adding hundreds of servers.
This expansion is a testament to our commitment to improving the performance of customer applications and easing the burden of time-consuming MySQL tuning for engineers.

We're always collecting both issues and feature requests on our GitHub. Here's where you can contribute:
Updates to Releem Portal
We understand the importance of accessibility for users and MySQL performance observability, which is why we've made some key updates to the Releem Portal:
- New Health Checks – We've introduced new health checks, including Open Files Utilization, Table Locking Efficiency, and InnoDB Dirty Pages Ratio. Each of these checks provides deeper insights into your database's health.
- Improved Log File Size – Our InnoDB Log File Size health check has undergone significant improvements. The old calculations were improperly used the buffer pool to determine redo log size. (Issue #202)
- Improved Table Cache Hit Rate – We've also enhanced the Table Cache Hit Rate health check, adjusting the threshold from 20 to 90 for more precise monitoring. This higher threshold aims to prevent cache overflows. (Issue #201)
- UI Improvements – We’ve improved the user experience of our initial landing page. Now, when a user logs in to app.releem.com, the system automatically detects the number of servers they have. If there is only one server, the dashboard is opened. If there are multiple, a server list page is opened. Thank you to our user Ryan for this great feature suggestion.
- New Help Resources – We've added a new Help window featuring Frequently Asked Questions to assist you in navigating and utilizing Releem more effectively.
- Time Zone Adjustments – We’ve fixed the time display issue on the daily graph. Now, configurations will be shown in your local time zone, not UTC+3.
Updates to Releem Platform
- Fixed RDS Memory Usage – We fixed the RDS memory usage calculations. Previously, these calculations were based solely on active memory, which did not provide a complete picture according to Amazon RDS documentation. (Issue #212)
- Query_cache_type bug – We've identified and resolved a bug in our metrics collection process, which impacted servers with a disabled query_cache. (Issue #214)
- Query_cache_size MariaDB issues – We fixed an issue that was causing Releem to recommend impossible values of query_cache_size in MariaDB. (Issue #216)
Updates to Releem Agent
- Configuration Automation – We're developing an automated solution for the commonly encountered issue of incorrectly configured opened_files_limit. While we work on this feature request, we encourage you to utilize our documentation to address this issue. (Issue #172)
- Community Contributions – A customer has provided a great workaround for running Releem Agent on FreeBSD. (Issue #203)
