These release notes list any new features, enhancements, fixes, security issues and breaking changes that were made for Hazelcast Management Center.

5.11.0

For help installing Hazelcast Management Center, see Install and start Management Center.

Release date: 2026-05-13

Security

  • Resolved authorization bypass: Fixed missing function-level access control checks. All affected endpoints now enforce appropriate authorization.

  • Disabled server version disclosure in HTTP responses: Management Center no longer includes its server version in HTTP response headers, reducing information disclosure to potential attackers.

Enhancements

  • Added CP Leader Auto Step-Down configuration display: Management Center now shows the CP Leader Auto Step-Down configuration for clusters that have this feature enabled, supporting the new capability introduced in Hazelcast Platform 5.7.

  • Added Java view to the Members screen: The Members screen now includes a tabular Java view showing JVM details for each cluster member.

  • Improved handling of license key expiration: Management Center now provides clearer messaging when a license key expires, helping operators identify and resolve license issues quickly.

  • Added new Prometheus metric V2 mappings: Extended Prometheus Exporter coverage with previously missing metric V2 mappings for improved cluster observability.

  • Improved validation for Prometheus Exporter allow/deny list configuration: The allow-list and deny-list properties for the Prometheus Exporter are now mutually exclusive. Configuring both simultaneously is rejected, preventing ambiguous filtering behavior.

  • Renamed Up Time metric to Uptime: The Up Time metric has been renamed to Uptime for consistency with standard naming conventions.

  • Made hz-mc security commands declarative: The hz-mc security commands now support a declarative configuration mode, simplifying deployments where idempotent and repeatable configuration is required.

  • Added idempotent options for mc-conf cluster commands: New idempotent options have been added to mc-conf cluster commands, allowing safe re-execution in automated deployment pipelines.

  • Updated Windows stop script to no longer use WMIC: The Windows stop script has been updated to use modern PowerShell commands instead of the deprecated WMIC tool, ensuring compatibility with newer Windows versions where WMIC is removed.

Fixes

  • Fixed cluster connections stuck in a "limbo" state: Resolved an issue where a running cluster could be incorrectly shown as offline in Management Center. This now happens far less often, and where it does, the Connection Diagnostics button forces a reconnect that clears the state — removing the previous need to re-add the cluster or restart Management Center.

  • Fixed stale Member Configuration on the Member Details screen: Resolved an issue where the Member Configuration shown on the Member Details screen was only refreshed when the cluster or Management Center was restarted, or when a member joined or left. The view now stays in sync with configuration changes as they happen, with at most a small delay.
