We've had various updates over the last week at Compose. Scylla left beta, JanusGraph got a data browser and Transporter 0.4.0 was released. But that's not all that's been happening. This is Compose's Noteworthy, where the small but important things are noted.

RabbitMQ Updated

The Compose team have brought RabbitMQ right up to date making RabbitMQ 3.6.11. This is a minor update which can be installed from the Compose RabbitMQ's console. Just go to Settings/Change Version and select 3.6.11 from the selector and you'll be good to go after a rolling restart.

API Progress

We've been asked if we can give a bit of insight into how particular tasks are doing through the API. When Compose's internal systems run a job, be it scaling, backup or deployment, a "recipe" is stepped through. Each running "recipe" has a unique id and many operations to be performed.

You can check the state of a "recipe" through the get-recipe endpoint. We used to only pass on whether the "recipe" was running or complete but now, you can see more information with the operations_total and operations_complete fields. Check out the notes on "Recipe Operations" for more on how to populate your progress meter with the Compose API.

And that's it for this week's Noteworthy.
