This page presents release notes for JFrog Mission Control describing the main fixes and enhancements made to each version as it is released.
If you need release notes for earlier versions of Mission Control, refer to the Release Notes in the Mission Control 3.x User Guide.
Mission Control is Moving to Artifactory as a Service
From JFrog Artifactory version 7.27.3, Mission Control has been integrated directly into Artifactory as a service. You will no longer need to install Mission Control to use the features it provides, only to enable the service in Artifactory.
The metrics capabilities that were provided Mission Control will now be provided through JFrog Insight. To learn more about how to install Insight, see Installing Insight.
To learn more about how Mission Control has been integrated into Artifactory, see Migrating Platform Deployments and License Buckets.
Mission Control Deployment Options Matrix
While Mission Control will be in maintenance mode with minor fixes and security updates beyond version 4.7.x, you can still install it as an independent product and use it independently as in its previous versions. Since there are several ways in which you can use Mission Control within the JFrog Platform, the following table provides a matrix of the deployment options and their uses.
Note
While Mission Control can be configured to manage multiple environments, it can only have one "home" JPD. Meaning, each Platform deployment, can only have one Mission Control installation as part of its topology - either as a standalone installation, or as an Artifactory microservice.
Mission Control/Insight Configuration | Artifactory Version | Function | Installation Process | Configuration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Mission Control Microservice in Artifactory | From Artifactory 7.27.x | Supported from Artifactory version 7.27.x. Mission Control microservice provides the topology of JPDs in the dashboard and manages the license buckets. If you enable the Mission Control microservice, you can longer use the standalone Mission Control service anymore. | Mission Control microservice does not have a standalone | |
Standalone Mission Control Service | Artifactory continues to support standalone Mission Control until Mission Control end-of-life. | Mission Control works as a standalone service. You can continue to use Mission Control to manage your JPDs, license buckets, and view charts and trends. You cannot use Insight service with standalone Mission Control service. Do not install Insight if you plan to use standalone Mission Control service. If you enable Mission Control as an Artifactory microservice, the standalone Mission Control can no longer work as part of the Platform deployment. | ||
Standalone Insight Service | From Artifactory 7.27.x | JFrog Insight is a product that provides the trends and charts that are currently available with Mission Control. Install Insight if you wish to view the trends and charts. For more information, see JFrog Insight. You must enable Mission Control as a microservice and disable standalone Mission Control Service to use Insight. | Migrating to Insight To migrate to Insight, do the following:
|
Warning
Do not enable standalone Mission Control service after you migrate to the Mission Control microservice and install Insight.
