Upgrade from AMC 3

AMC 4.0 represents a major improvement over the previous version. The agent was rewritten in Go, which brought about the following performance and stability improvements:

• Faster response to UI requests
• Handling of large Aerospike clusters
• Less memory usage, and
• Strictly one and only one connection to a database node

AMC 4.0 new features and improvements

• Enabling Basic HTTP authentication between browser and agent
• Easier configuration and usage of AMC in non-root mode
• (Enterprise Edition-only, aka EE-only) Configuring clusters to always be monitored
• (EE-only) Supporting SSH-key based login for backup and restore
• (EE-only) Connecting to a TLS-enabled, secure Aerospike cluster
• (EE-only) Persisting notifications and showing them even after you close your browser
• (EE-only) Configuring email addresses to receive Aerospike cluster alerts

AMC 4.0 can only be used against Aerospike clusters on which every node runs Aerospike version 3.9 or later. For the configuration details of the new features, please see our Configure section.
