The download package includes the following:

  • Grafana dashboard JSON files for MOLT Fetch (grafana_dashboard.json) and Replicator (replicator_grafana_dashboard.json) metrics. Each bundled dashboard is compatible with its corresponding binary version.
    • Oracle downloads also include the Oracle-specific Replicator dashboard (replicator_oracle_grafana_dashboard.json).
Tip:

For ease of use, keep both molt and replicator in your current working directory.

To display the current version of each binary, run molt --version and replicator --version.

Note:

molt is bundled with the latest replicator version available at the time of the MOLT release. This means that the MOLT download always contains the latest released version of MOLT Replicator. To verify that the molt and replicator versions match, run molt --version and replicator --version.

For previous binaries, refer to the MOLT version manifest. For release details, refer to the MOLT changelog.
