Scylla Manager: Simplified Cluster Management

Reduce the administrative burden for management, monitoring, and backup of Scylla scale-out clusters

Automate Repetitive Tasks

Operations teams can quickly schedule recurring tasks such as node rebuilds and repairs across their cluster. A single instance of Scylla Manager is able to manage clusters spread across multiple regions and datacenters.

Disaster Recovery

Protect your organization from data loss caused during unexpected incidents. Scylla Manager lets Operations teams automate database backups to AWS S3. Team can quickly restore data after an outage, reducing unnecessary downtime.

Cluster Monitoring

Scylla Manager aggregates performance data across the cluster and makes it available in Prometheus format. Automatic topology discovery using node agents simplifies setup and management. Deploying Scylla Monitoring Stack alongside Scylla Manager empowers operations teams to track real-time metrics using out of the box Grafana dashboards.

Faster Troubleshooting

Historical and real-time charts help teams troubleshoot issues related to metrics such as latency, request timeouts, and cache hits. Quickly identify real-time database loads and currently running background processes. Teams are able to easily find and fix issues that may require table repairs, node rebuilds, or instance restarts to maintain service level agreements (SLAs).

Technology

Scylla Manager is a lightweight stateless Go application that uses Scylla as its persistent store. A Scylla Agent runs alongside each Scylla database on the node to collect local database metrics/information and send them to Scylla Manager over HTTPS. Operations teams can centrally interact with all nodes of the Scylla cluster through Scylla Manager’s sctool.

Licensing

Scylla Manager is free to use for all customers up to 5 nodes for clusters built with Scylla Open Source. Customers using Scylla Enterprise can connect an unlimited number of nodes with clusters deployed across multiple datacenters.
