Pinba engine 1.0.0

I already talked about Pinba, this great Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tool that is made of :

  • a MySQL storage engine (pinba-mysql-5.5),
  • a PHP extension (php5-pinba),
  • and even a python module, pynba, (thanks to my IsCool Entertainment friends) and an experimental Nginx module.

But since MySQL 5.1 support has been discontinued on Dotdeb, it was impossible to install the Pinba MySQL storage engine, just because it depended on a non-existant MySQL 5.1 version.

This problem is now fixed and I’m proud to announce that the Pinba storage engine version 1.0.0 is now compatible with Dotdeb’s MySQL 5.5 packages. Just install the pinba-mysql-5.5 package and add the following line to your MySQL configuration file :

plugin-load=libpinba_engine.so

About the PHP extensions, they will be updated from version 0.0.6 to version 1.0.0 with the upcoming PHP 5.4.6 and 5.3.16 packages.

Please visit the Pinba website fore more info (changes, installation, support…).
