Upgrade Advisor now in MySQL Enterprise

If you’re managing a variety of different MySQL servers, it’s hard sometimes to know if a problem you’re experiencing is being caused by a bug or if it’s a different issue altogether.  I really like what our Enterprise Tools’ team has done in the latest release of the Enterprise Monitor - they’ve now got an Upgrade Advisor that scans your MySQL server farm and tells you if a particular server needs to be upgraded with respect to critical issues (crash bugs, security, etc.)  You can schedule this to occur on a regular basis so you don’t have to remember to do it.  Nice.
