DSE OpsCenter compatibility with DSE
This table lists OpsCenter compatibility for both monitored and storage
clusters (if one or more are in use).
| OpsCenter version | DSE version |
|---|---|
| 6.7 | 6.7, 6.0, 5.1 |

compatible with DataStax Enterprise (DSE) clusters. DataStax
discontinued OpsCenter compatibility with Open Source
Software (OSS) Cassandra clusters and DataStax Distributions
of Cassandra (DDC) clusters, formerly known as DataStax
Community (DSC). Customers currently using an OpsCenter
version earlier than 6.0 to provision, manage, and maintain
their OSS Cassandra, DSC, and DDC clusters must look for
other tools to continue their management and maintenance
activities.
