TL;DR

The table below summarizes the message in this blog post. For more details and reasoning, please continue reading.

What What is happening and when Percona Monitoring and Management v1 End of Life – May 2022 Percona Server for MongoDB v4.0

Percona Distribution for MongoDB v4.0

End of Life – April 2022 Packaging and support for Ubuntu 16.04 No new releases, effective immediately 

Percona Monitoring and Management v1 EOL

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) started its history in April 2016 when PMM Beta 1.0.0 was released. Almost 3 years later, in September 2019, we have released PMM 2.0.0 – a successor and feature-rich replacement for v1. Since that time, all our engineering efforts have been focused on version 2, but we were still shipping minor updates and security patches to version 1.

Six months from now, on May 1, 2022, Percona Monitoring and Management version 1 will enter the End of Life stage, which means it is not going to receive any security updates, bug fixes, and improvements.

Because of the significant architectural changes between PMM v1 and PMM v2, there is no direct upgrade path. Please review Running PMM1 and PMM2 Clients on the Same Host for how to perform a smooth transition from one version to another.

Ubuntu Linux 16.04 EOL

Ubuntu Linux 16.04 has reached its end of life on April 30, 2021. Even though Canonical announced that they will provide paid Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) for 16.04 for five more years, we have decided to stop providing releases of our software for this platform in favor of focusing our efforts on more recent versions of Ubuntu. There are two reasons:

  • ESM addresses security issues only, but the latest packages, libraries, and software are not shipped. Such an approach would slow down the innovation for our engineering teams and complicate the release process. 
  • We see community dropping support for Ubuntu 16.04 as well – MySQL, MongoDB (5.0), PostgreSQL

MongoDB 4.0 EOL

As per official MongoDB Software Lifecycle Schedules, MongoDB 4.0 is going End of Life in April 2022. At Percona we are going to follow the same schedule, which means that starting in April 2022:

Our support team will continue to provide operational support (bug fixes and software builds will no longer be generated) for 4.0 even after April 2022, but we strongly encourage our users and customers to prepare for the upgrade beforehand.  At the time of writing this blog post, the recommended version to upgrade to is Percona Server for MongoDB 4.2.17-17. Please read this how-to on how to perform a major version upgrade from 4.0 to 4.2.

If you need assistance with the upgrade, please get in touch with us by raising a support ticket, contacting our sales team, or raising a topic on our Community Forum.

Call for Action

We understand that upgrading the software might be challenging, especially for mid- and large-sized environments. We would like to hear your story and concerns in the corresponding forum threads and see if we can help you with addressing them:
