Milvus Management Console (Attu)

6/11/2026

Attu 3.0 Beta introduces multi-cluster management, allowing users to connect to and manage multiple Milvus instances from a single interface with persistent local state. A major new component is the AI Agent, which integrates over 50 Milvus tools to enable natural language operations, diagnostics, and permission management, with support for various LLM providers and custom skill creation. The data browser has been redesigned with a hierarchical database-collection-partition structure and enhanced data operation capabilities. The console now includes built-in Prometheus metrics dashboards, an API Playground, and GUI-based backup and restore functionality. Diagnostic skills for cluster health, search performance, data write, and configuration audits are also new additions.
